The Flow of Resilience intricately blends text, images, and video to craft its narrative. Unveiling poignant tales of accused witches in remote villages in the Northeast of India, the film unfolds as a filmmaker embarks on a journey triggered by a found diary. The film weaves together the filmmaker's introspections with survivors' collective memories. While deciphering the diary, written down with every detail by Monjula, an accused witch's daughter, the filmmaker reflects on personal encounters. With three registers of voiceovers, the film meditates on memory, the act of remembering, and the archival of trauma. Boi Thaka attempts to express the resilience and strength emerging against patriarchal systems that continue to perpetuate practices such as witch-hunting.
