Ramoshi (a short documentary)

Dur: 14 mins.

The film is a journey of the filmmakers in search of a community in Maharashtra, called the Ramoshi. They are a community who had been dubbed a criminal tribe by the British Government in the Criminal Tribes Act of 1871. Even though they were denotified in 1952 (post India’s Independence), the branding remained, overpowering the community to choose a path of crime. Now however situations have changed. The film is an exploration of this community in the present where a community faces an almost self imposed amnesia to forget the branding.
