Being Uttarakhandi, I connected to this movie deeply. It shows the stigmas of caste & gender discrimination, child marriage, unemployment, etc. And how it impacts the life of village people. Set in the background of Baba Kedar's Kedarnath, it is one of the best cinematic experiences in the landscape of nature.
But, on a broader scale, it is a movie for anyone seeking redemption from this circle of livelihood, children, family, career, success... where it looks as if they have achieved a lot & yet feeling so brittle, so ignorant.. incomplete. It is a genuine story of how one remains connected to the roots, no matter how far one may go.
'Land of the Gods' beautifully captures the struggles & pain of the simple villagers in its purest form.
Directed by a Serbian, it shows the village as it is without any biases. Definitely a must watch. Rarest of the Rare Gem!
