Synopsis

Sangra and Lusang’s two children and four others die after consuming a local wine that was prepared by Lusang. She is ostracised by her community over their superstitious belief of her being a doumoh – a poison woman.

MUBI's take

Set in an Arunachali village near the Indo-China border, Bishkanyar Deshot sharply highlights the political and socio-economic woes of tribal communities in the region. The film beautifully amalgamates folklore into its contemporary narrative and makes a poetic case for the emancipation of women.
