From: Saheli Women <[email protected]> Subject: Reminder: Invitation for a screening of the film ‘At the Crossroads’ at the Saheli office on 1st June To: "saheli women" <[email protected]> Date: Wednesday, 29 May, 2013, 15:43 Dear friends, This is to remind you for a screening of the film ‘At the Crossroads’ at the Saheli office on 1st June. The film screening will be followed by a discussion with the filmmaker. Please do join us! AT THE CROSSROADS by Deba Ranjan Duration : 90 minutes Language :Odia, Telgu, Kui (English subtitles) The Nehruvian era made ordinary people - mostly adivasis and dalits - lose their lands, forests and streams in the name of ‘national development’. That development never reached them. Not only they remained as deprived of basic health care and education as ever, but also of even safe drinking water though surrounded by reservoirs and dams. While this state injustice continued unabated, the post-liberalization era made these very people `anti-national’, ‘anti-development’ and `Maoists/Naxalites’, when they resisted corporate land grab for mining and industrialization. This branding became and continues to be an easy license to kill them with impunity. Southern Odisha is witness to this war between the hapless people and the neoliberal development paradigm. It led to CPI (Maoist) consolidating its presence in this area in the recent past. The film AT THE CROSSROADS tries to explore the predicament, the dilemma and the confusion of the local people, especially, of adivasis and dalits in this war zone. The film covers the Balimela cut-off areas, Bonda Hill and Mathili area of Malkangiri; the antibauxite resistance areas of Kashipur and Niyamgiri, Sunabeda sanctuary; and Narayanpatna area. It captures the intensity of old dilemmas while asking some new questions.
