Kwatha Calling - A Documentary

As a part of Foundation for Social Transformation (FST)'s Youth Leadership Development Program Sonia Nepram hailing from Manipur worked on the project titled “Kwatha Calling- A Documentary”. Kwatha, a village in Manipur located in Tengnoupal of Chandel District that shares an international border with Burma that is approximately 18km away. Kwatha village has huge potential for eco-tourism and abundance of natural resources. The kwatha villagers have to walk 10km to reach the AH1 Asian Highway. The lack of transport has added more problems to the villagers.Eventually, people came to know about the beautiful place of Kwatha. In October 2016, youth from the urban Imphal organized a festival in Kwatha to promote eco-tourism .The people were selling handmade bamboo products, indigenous brew, vegetables etc. The documentary throws light on the life at Kwatha village by and large.
