“After The World Ends… It Begins Again” tells the story of three generations of women from West Bengal’s Kheria Sabar tribe, whose lives embody a quiet, perpetual determination to resist cultural erasure. Most historical narratives about Sabar people focus on the explicitly physical, punitive violence that Sabar men suffered — from arbitrary detention to custodial killings — a dark past which mustn’t be understated. But this film asks — what other violences and crises have been festering in the wake of such overt persecution? What other bodies have suffered more “invisible” wounds? The present climate crisis looming over Sabar ecologies is re-imagined in the film as a morphed, urgent extension of state violence, now leaving an undeniably gendered imprint. Biodiversity loss, food insecurity, loss of traditional livelihoods, and outbound migration due to untenable native ecologies, have been impacting Sabar women as much as men — and yet, their unique narratives are seldom explored.
