Description:
This documentary explores the lives of the Pulayan tribes of the Anamalai Hills in Tamil Nadu, focusing on the inspiring story of their women’s Self-Help Groups. Against the backdrop of forested landscapes and traditional livelihoods, the film captures how Pulayan women are coming together to build economic independence, preserve cultural identity, and strengthen community solidarity.
Through intimate interviews, everyday scenes, and collective activities, the documentary highlights their efforts in savings, micro-enterprises, and mutual support systems that empower not only women but also their families and the wider tribe.
Shakthi – A documentary on Pulayan Tribes on Annamalai Hills is more than a record of grassroots development—it is a testament to the determination and dignity of indigenous women who transform challenges into opportunities for change.
