Thayakam (Motherland) (Amita Arudpragasam / Sri Lanka / 1 hour 17 mins / Tamil, English / 2026) Trailer

A hopeful environmentalist and his courage to fight Adani

There is loss of biodiversity, land and rights disturbing the coastal Mannar community in Sri Lanka. Edison, a young activist, is fuelled with motivation to highlight the stories of this diverse society. The film is an intimate ethnographic study of the region and the various socio-economic and environmental challenges it faces.

At ALT EFF 2026, we are meeting the times.
When the world feels like it is coming apart, we look to art as witness, joy as resistance, and cinema as a way home to each other.

This film is one of many stories we are bringing together this year at the All Living Things Environmental Film Festival, December 3 to 13, 2026.
