In 1925, when the first 12 Karen families moved from Burma to the thick forests of North Andaman, they were looking for work, and an escape from oppression. At the time, no one could have guessed that these quiet, beautiful islands would, over the next few decades, set the stage for some of the most dramatic rendezvous of the 20th century. Age-old Western colonial powers were upended by wartime imperialists from the East, as Indian Nationalists collaborated with the Axis powers to oust the British from their land. The indigenous tribes in these islands continued to have their ways of life upturned, and their people massacred, no matter who came to power. Caught in the middle of all of this crossfire, lived the pious, peaceful, and hardworking Karens. This documentary film captures their way of life in these islands, and the relationship they held with the populations that came and went. Alongside this, the film discusses the history, mythology, and culture of the Karen tribe themselves, and the continuing oppression that forced much of their community to flee their homeland.
