NRI to capture villagers' issues on celluloid

-The Times of India
 
KENDRAPADA: An England-based NRI will make a documentary on the protests by seaside villagers of Dhinkia, Nuagaon and Gadakujang against the proposed Posco steel plant.

The film-maker, Prafulla Mohanty (74), is from Nanpur village, 20 km from here. Mohanty, also a writer and painter, visited several villages in the area to make the film recently. "I will also write a book on the anti-land acquisition movement," Mohanty said.

"Through my film, everyone will know about the anti-people policies of the government and plight of thousands of villagers facing the spectre of displacement from their homes, hearths, betel vine farms, cashewnut orchards, lush green fields and river," Mohanty said.

"I am preparing a script for this film and we will shoot this film in these villagers soon," Mohanty added.

"During my recent visit to Dhinkia, Patana and Gobindapur villages, I found the violence has affected the children too. Their vocabulary now includes words like police, Posco and andolan," the writer said. Studies have been affected in Dhinkia and grades of top rankers declined after many students joined the anti-land acquisition movement.

Through my film, everyone will know about the anti-people policies of the government and plight of villagers facing the spectre of displacement.
