One Day Ahead of Democracy
Amlan Datta, Amlan Datta
India, Japan
Festival history
Malana, a remote mysterious village in the Himalayas, has been practicing an ancient form of democracy built on trust. They've also been producing some of the finest quality hashish in the world.A unique story of transition, an isolated age old form of democracy for the people getting invaded and overpowered by the modern form - rule of the majority. A real life drama where a fire destroys the village, followed by a process of reconstruction, which blows the horn of extinction for this ancient civilization. Microcosm of a global phenomenon.
