Back in 1980s, when Manipur was inflicted with insurgency and armed violence, a group of women came out to the streets to sustain peace in the valley. Meira Paibis are loosely structured groups of women from each locality who volunteered to vigil through the night as a peace-building effort. The journey of these women in their struggles to protect their community from atrocities committed by the State and the role of women in the conflict-ridden, male-dominated society of Manipur.
Worth watching short film
the message the director was trying to convey was brought out in an indirect fashion which is a plus point; .. at the same time this indirect mode of communication will make it difficult for some in the audience to understand what the movie is all about. In the end the fact that the women folk in the Manipuri valley were able to bring about peace which was their goal in the midst of all the obstacles they faced is highly commendable. The movie is worth a watch!!
