Threads of Tradition is directed, produced, editado, written, and cinematographed by Eshaan Mani. In the village of Darasuram in South India, a tradition held by the locals for over 1000 years is on the line.
This short documentary follows the Arivu family, residing near the world-famous Airavatesvara Temple. For generations, they’ve worked as handloom weavers, creating and selling saris, a traditional women’s garment. Ahora, the Arivu family faces numerous challenges: a lack of resources, rising automation, and the aftermath of COVID-19.
The film adeptly covers a lot in its short runtime. It was fascinating to witness the Arivu family’s handwoven garment-making process and understand why they persist despite their fears. Exploring Indian culture is always captivating, especially witnessing families like this one striving for their desires despite many obstacles.
I rate this film 4 fuera de 5 estrellas.
