යුද්දෙටත් ඇවිත් – Dutch Invasion of Sri Lanka | Sam Podda

This cinematic short story is inspired by the historical Dutch invasion of Sri Lanka in the late 1600s and the brutal Colombo massacre. The video is accompanied by the iconic Sri Lankan folk song “යුද්දෙටත් ඇවිත්”, originally performed by Lionel Ranwala and later popularized by Ranwala Balakaya. All credit for the song goes to the original artists, their families, and the Ranwala Foundation. In this video, the story recreates: • Dutch VOC ships arriving in Colombo • Attacks on civilians and village destruction • Villagers rising to defend their land • Authentic 1600s Sri Lankan environments, clothing, and weapons • A tribute to our cultural heritage through the power of the song “යුද්දෙටත් ඇවිත්” Created by Sam Podda, this project blends history, culture, and cinematic storytelling to honor Sri Lanka’s past and its legendary folk traditions. 👉 If you appreciate Sri Lankan history, folk music, and meaningful storytelling, please like, share, and subscribe to support the channel.
