Manusangada

When Kolappan receives the news of his father’s death, it is not just grief that engulfs him. He is equally tormented the possibility of burial of his father`s body in his native village, which is teared up by hierarchies of castes. As a part of a lower indigenous community, Kolappan, a low caste Dalit, is forced by upper caste people to carry his father’s corpse through a thorny and unformed route to an uncertain graveyard. When he finds the official powers aligning with casteist forces, Kolappan begins a protest to enforce social liberty based on equitable human rights. (Cairo International Film Festival)
