Invitation to Partners in Production

This is an invitation to you to participate in the production of a documentary film on Adivasi/indigenous people who live in Wynad, Kerala. The Wynad Adivasi people have been made to work as migrant workers by their employers in the neighbouring states to cultivate Ginger.
