AMMA ARIYAN
(REPORT TO MOTHER)
Iconoclastic filmmaker John Abraham’s last film was produced by the Odessa Collective, a group of film enthusiasts, who travelled from village to village seeking contributions from local people to finance the film. Purushan sets out for Delhi promising his mother to write to her. On the way, he finds a dead body identified as Hari’s and decides to go to Hari’s house to inform his mother of her son’s death, collecting a motley group of comrades en route that swells into a crowd. Set against the backdrop of social and political ferment in Kerala in the 1970s, the film unfolds through stunning black and white imagery as a letter from a son to his mother through a deeply intimate journey through the landscape of Kerala that delves into the political history of the state.
