Production Notes
Two years of filming in four schedules has resulted in this film. This started off as a documentary film on Sathyanarayanan Mundayoor, a south Indian residing in Arunachal Pradesh for more than 30 years. Ground realities compelled me to expand the scope of the film to include opium cultivation int he area.
