A film centred around Majuli, one of the largest river islands in the world, has won the audience choice award at this year s North Carolina Film Festival. The film is all about the struggle of the people living in and around Majuli especially the complications born out of the home-bred insurgency. Ekhon Nedekha Nadir Sipare directed by Bidyut Kotoky, an Assamese film maker, has also been selected for the 14th Annual New York Indian Film Festival scheduled to be held in May. The bilingual film was produced by the National Film Development Corporation (NFDC). I am glad that the film has won the audience choice award. It just goes on to reconfirm our belief that the colour of human emotions is the same in any part of the globe. But more than that, it is a pleasure to learn that someone in the other side of the planet has become aware of our own Majuli and its people. The island is an intrinsic part of Assam and it is necessary that more and more people come to know about it, said Kotoky
