Breaking The Scilence

Film Type: Documentary
Director: Parthajit Baruah
Released Year: 2020

This documentary, "Breaking the Silence," is about the first organised women's musical group in Assam. The group consisted of five women—Anjali Mahanta, Nazma Ahmed, Sewali Lekharu, Kabita Nath, and Arati Mahanta—who, fighting against the social taboo, did stage performances in the 1980s. They serve as a symbol of women's voice in patriarchal society. The five women belonging to different castes and religions redefined women's position in society.
