TEEPOI

TEEPOI We’re a film production company, we narrate stories through the medium of film and photography. Our work doesn’t aim to simplify complex realities.

We are a documentary film studio rooted in South India, making films that hold space for stories that are raw, uncomfortable, deeply local and often quietly powerful. It sits with the mess, the contradictions, and the beauty that emerge when real people speak on their own terms.

This story, born out of observation, listening, and a commitment to the planet we all call home, finds a space among films that echo the urgency and beauty of environmental consciousness. Environment Support Group (ESG) supported the local community of Mavallipura to stand for their rights for over two decades. Thanks to Leo Saldanha and Bhargavi Rao for trusting us to tell this story of a confluence of research, people power and justice.
The project was initiated by Environment Support Group and backed by the K2A small grants by Swissnex in India.
A huge thank you to the ALT EFF team for creating a platform that celebrates voices from the ground, from the margins, and from the wild. This selection is not just a milestone for the film it’s a moment of solidarity with many others striving to tell the right stories at the right time.

"This is the symbol with which India will continue its fight. May I be permitted to say that India will continue its struggle also for peace, and that just as her soldiers will be encouraged and uplifted by the sight of this Flag in all righteous warfare against unjust enemies, so also this Flag will stand as a reminder of our love of peace. May it help us to go forward in all righteous work and see that all social wrongs are righted. Above all, in every case of fratricidal warfare, of strife among ourselves, when injustice is done, when tempers rise, when communal peace is broken up, may the sight of this Flag help to soften the harsh and discordant voices, and help us to stand together, as we have gathered today in unanimity, in happiness is brotherly feeling to salute this, our National Flag." - Jerome D'Souza on 22 July 1947 at the Constituent Assembly of India

Step by step instructions on how to tie, hoist, unfurl, lower and fold the Indian flag.
