Against the Tide

Overview

Set in the rural Sri Lanka of 1989, civil war is raging but hasn't yet touched the life of nine-year-old Sirimal. One day his boatman father is asked to ferry a group of armed strangers over to their island, and they are shortly followed by the army. Gun battles and arrests soon follow and Sirimal's world is turned upside down when his father disappears. (Cary Rajinder Sawhney - London Film Festival 2004)
