The film tracks the making of the ceremonial log drum from techniques involved in cutting and shaping the log, to carrying the log drum over many days to its final home in the Morung. The journey from forest to village, to its final resting place in the Morung, abounds in rituals and traditional-style celebrations, is beautifully captured on screen by the Green Hub team.
