The Catastrophe

Overview

Rakeshwar Bora, a simple Assamese farmer, faces ruin when a greedy landlord deceitfully claims his ancestral land by demanding a mortgage receipt that was never provided. To afford the steep bribes required by a corrupt legal system, Bora is forced to sell his livestock and send his young son to work as a servant for the same landlord. His ultimate humiliation occurs when financial desperation forces him to hang political banners praising the very man who destroyed his livelihood.
