'Fehujali' the documentary delves into the plight of underprivileged youths in the state screened at 7th New Delhi Film Festival 2024

Produced by the Director General of Police, Assam, “Fehujali” is directed by Dr. Parthasarathi Mahanta, IPS, with English subtitles curated by Dr. Jovial Kalita.

GP Singh, IPS, Director General of Police, Assam, said that “we have seen some young boys and girls joining camps of terrorist groups falling for various gimmicks being peddled. We decided to bring to the public domain true-life stories of disillusionment amongst those who had fallen prey to such a propaganda campaign and joined terrorist organizations.

They wanted to share their ordeal with other similarly placed youths to prevent them from making the same mistake that they had made. It is our effort to awaken our youths to reality.”

Director Dr. Mahanta stated that, “the documentary ventures into the struggles of marginalized youths within the state, ensnared by extremist factions employing coercive methods, including financial enticement, as recruitment tactics. The narrative unfolds the disillusionment faced by these individuals upon realizing the futility of their purported mission to liberate Assam from India, recognizing themselves as mere pawns manipulated by foreign interests exploiting misguided patriotism. Their journey back home is one marked by shattered dreams and newfound clarity.”
