Logline
In the mystical Garbhanga forest of Northeast India, Shadows of the Forest explores the community’s collective subconscious as they endure the impacts of wildlife conservation in their forest. Rumours of new predators and looming eviction fears blur reality with ancestral memory, seeping into dreams and whispered recollections across generations.
