Farmer-centric film Rythanna amplifies ryots’ voices
The Hindu
Film portrays issues faced by farmers
Reiterating their steadfast support for the cause of farmers, a host of organisations representing the farmers and other toiling masses have launched a social media campaign to promote the farmer-centric “Rythanna” Telugu film in an effort to amplify the farmers' voices and support their protracted agitation against the Centre's three farm laws through the powerful medium of cinema.
The recently released "Rythanna" movie, directed by noted Telugu actor and producer R Narayana Murthy, is based on the issues concerning farmers and their relentless struggle against the "anti-farmer" policies.
As the name suggests, the film portrays the vital role of Annadatas (food givers) as the backbone of the country's economy and the plethora of issues concerning the farmers such as lack of remunerative prices for their produce, endless exploitation by middlemen, distress-induced suicides and the imminent risk of exploitation by corporate entities.
