FirstpostDhumkkudiya, based on the true story of a 14 year old minor who is a survivor of human trafficking and sexual abuse, will be screened at Cannes Film Festival 2021 on 12 July. Dhumkkudiya, a Jharkhandi film based on the true story of a 14 year old minor, will be screened at the prestigious 2021 Cannes Film Festival on 12 July. After winning the American Institute of Indian Studies fellowship Nayak, son of Jharkhand’s well known folk artist Padmashri Mukund Nayak, had returned to his village to traditional tribal folk music sometime around 2003. “The penetrating eyes of the minor Rishu portrayed by Rinkal Katchhap in the movie, her pain, her ordeal and her silence still rips my heart,” said Nayak, adding that he would find some solace if his film “encourages bringing in stricter laws to regulate employment of tribal girls, to safeguard them from the horrific exploitation many of them are still being subjected to.”
