The Flow of Resilience

Buried in the mist-laden villages of Northeast India, the discovery of a diary belonging to Monjula, the daughter of an accused witch, unearths the painful stories of women accused of witchcraft in the remote village of Assam. Where whispers turn into accusations, the film retraces these forgotten memories and painful histories, blending diary entries with survivor testimonies and introspective voiceovers to meditate on collective trauma, memory and resilience. Three voices speak: the diary, the survivors and the seeker. Through the filmmaker’s lens, we witness women on trial, punished for their difference, and ostracised by patriarchal systems for their power. As the narrative unfolds, The Flow of Resilience becomes more than just an archive of suffering, but an act of defiance, inviting viewers to confront the open wounds of systemic violence and question the silencing of women.
