RELOCATION TO DISLOCATION: THE VANISHING INDIGENOUS COMMUNITY OF SRI LANKA

a film by Athula Samarakoon

These Indigenous people, uprooted from their original ancestral land and displaced in a confluence of cultural systems, have adapted over the course of three generations to face the complexities posed by the new spaces they encounter. All the while they persist in preserving certain essentials of their identity.
