Assam DGP GP Singh emphasized the film's important message: "We've seen young
people join terrorist camps because of misleading promises. We wanted to share
true stories of those who became disillusioned after joining these groups.
They wanted to help others avoid making the same mistakes. Our goal is to open
the eyes of our youth to the reality."
Director Dr. Mahanta explained the film's narrative, saying, “The documentary
explores the struggles of marginalized youths in Assam who were recruited by
extremist groups through coercion and financial incentives. It shows their
disillusionment upon realizing they were merely pawns in a misguided mission
to liberate Assam from India, manipulated by foreign interests. Their journey
back home is marked by shattered dreams and newfound clarity.”
"Fehujali" uses compelling storytelling to urge disenchanted youth to avoid
the allure of extremism and choose a path of purpose and righteousness. The
documentary has received widespread acclaim for its powerful narrative and
impactful message. [no_toc]
