The researcher, a renowned film maker of the country
is making a documentary film titled as Riders to the
Jungle which is being funded partly by RIB. The story
of this documentary film is based on an exceptional
ritual that take place during November every year in
the southern coastal point, Dublarchar of Sunderban.
Men, women and children of the fishing communities mostly
from the nearby districts come all the way by their
country boats ignoring the dangers of the jungle to
pray to the sea God for safekeeping fishermen who are
go out to the sea for fishing. Another reason of this
voyage is to train up the children to face the difficult
situation of the nature. At the end of their journey,
a fair takes place at Dublarchar. The sixty-minute duration
film will also incorporate the miserable condition of
Sunderban. The film expected to sensitise the relevant
authorities of the Government and NGOs who may come
to improve the livelihoods of poor fishing communities.
The documentary film Riders to the Jungle will also
discover and present nature and human lives of Sunderban.
