"Boraik" a native community

[ 19:00 ]

This documentary film about a native community named “BORAIK” who are very poor and miles away from real life development. These people survive in circumstances below the standard level of the poor and they have no way but to work and live. They do not like violence, are very peaceful and they do not expose their problems to anyone. These native people came to a remote place of Cholonbil from the Rachi state of India. Although these people are struggling so much, yet they have the ambition to develop their own culture and become civilized in the future.
