English title: Songs of our Soil
Language: Telugu with English subtitles

Synopsis: Uyyala songs are an agricultural tradition rooted in the political expression of women in Telangana. Through these oral traditions, Songs of our Soil traces the histories of resistance and memories of disillusionment experienced by women across political assertions in the region.
From women’s participation in the historical Telangana People’s Movement to the demands of justice from the contemporary Mallana Sagar Irrigation project, this film attempts to complicate the relationship between memory, history, and cultural production in women's political journeys.
This project is made possible with a grant from India Foundation for the Arts under the Arts Research programme, with support from Titan Company Ltd.
