The struggle of the Adivasis for the community rights over the forests began during the British colonial rule in India. Hundreds of such struggles have been recorded from different parts in Indian history. The British colonial forces suppressed most of such struggles with their military strength. A lot of blood of the Adivsis were shed in the forests in India in that process. The British enacted the first laws over forests which gave them power over the forests. During the post colonial rule in independent India, the same process continued. Many struggles of the Adivasis on the forest rights emerged during this period also. Many groups, movements, activists and intellectuals were involved. As a result, the Government of India was forced to enact a law called Forest Rights Act (FRA) in India allowing community rights and individual rights for the Adivasis and Other Forest Dwellers over the forests. It has been proven beyond doubt that the implementation of this law has been extremely poor. It has been felt that there should be more awareness on the benefits of this law. This film is made to bring awareness to this law. A series of posters on the main content of the law was designed by Achu Sheela and K.P. Sasi. The posters were inaugurated by the Union Minister for Tribal Affairs, Shri Arjun Munda who belongs to the Adivasi community in Jharkhand, at a function organized by AIFFRS (a national network for forest rights in India). These posters were converted into an experimental short film where no camerawork was involved. All the instruments used in the music of the film are made from bamboo.
