Boong

Metrograph

Schoolboy Boong’s father has been conspicuously silent since leaving the family’s hometown of Manipur for Moreh, near the Indian-Myanmar border, in search of employment. The intrepid Boong sets out with his best friend, Raju, to discover the truth, guided by a single photograph. A heartfelt debut from Lakshmipriya Devi, addressing rising ethno-racial conflicts in India.
