Pura Sakmana

Set in a drought and poverty stricken remote agricultural village, "Pura Sakmana" tells the story of a mother and daughter who are forced to do the bidding of the local village 'Mafia' boss in order to ensure that their next meal is on the table. The struggle for survival in conditions of severe drought for the rural farmer and the problems of the brewing and selling of illicit liquor and the destruction it causes to the fabric of traditional village life are well portrayed in this film.
