Explore stories from the shadows; ones that seldom come to light. This strand juxtaposes hard-hitting and hopeful films to both cradle you in the home of possibility and shock you into the lair of despair. A Chasm of Hope very honestly explores the future of humankind on Earth. Learn about the transformative power of regenerative agriculture, the continued consequences of colonisation, the effect of industry on the rights of individuals and the perils of a legal system pitted against a growing generation.

Somi and her husband are striving to forge a new identity after fighting alongside the Naxalites, a communist guerrilla group that has been waging war on the Indian State since the 60’s. After a decade of armed struggle for the rights of their tribal communities, the couple deserted the movement and surrendered to the police. Ever since, they have been trying to educate their son and reconcile their violent past with the desire to integrate into the Indian society.
