Talented Activist-Percussionist Longs to be Heard
The film follows Suresh, a percussionist who moved to the city of Hyderabad in India in 1997 as
a cultural artist during the Human Rights and Dalit Rights movement. Despite his nuanced
knowledge and passion for music, he struggles to find avenues that support and
recognize him as a musician. He performs at public meetings and political gatherings,
but his contribution as a musician remains unacknowledged.
