Rambuai, which looks at the turbulent years in Mizoram and how people have tried to cope with their experiences, premiered successfully at Aizawl recently in the presence of Chief Minister Lal Thanhawla.

The film has been supported by the Heinrich Boll Stiftung (HBF), New Delhi, which focuses on thematic areas such as climate, resources, gender in socio-economic policy, democratic governance and India as a global actor and promotes national and international dialogue processes with a view to enhancing the diversity of green thinking.

The film has been made by C-NES, which works on a range of issues at both field and policy levels relating to governance.
