About the Event

On a tiny island between sri lanka and india, thousands of fishermen gather each year to pray to st. anthony of padua while the very waters surrounding their shared shrine fuel an ongoing struggle for survival, identity, and peace.

Filmed during the annual feast at kachchatheevu and at nearby neduntheevu (delft island), this documentary explores the intersection of faith, survival, and geopolitics asking whether shared devotion can offer hope in a sea that increasingly divides those who depend on it.

Screening will be followed by a moderated discussion.
