June 4, 2007 — Dima Hasao, Assam, India.
Nindu Langthasa was killed by extremists. His family still awaits justice.

APA is not just a song or a film. It is a cry. A wound. A memory that must not be buried.

This is for every voice silenced in the name of politics, power, and peace talks.
This is for justice. For truth. For the future we must protect.

Lyrics in English :

DO YOU REMEMBER?
YOU TOLD ME
“BECOME A CIVIL ENGINEER.”
“BE ANYTHING,
BUT NEVER ENTER POLITICS!”
NOW DO YOU SEE
WHAT ALL HAPPENS?
WHO’S MAKING
THE WORLD DANCE?
THEY SHOT YOU
THREE TIMES,
WE ARE DYING
EVERY DAY.

FATHER YOU VISIT ME
IN MY DREAMS,
AND I KEEP WONDERING
HOW THEY TURNED
OUR FAMILY’S MEMORIES
FROM COMEDY
TO TRAGEDY
AND MADE MONEY OFF IT!
DAMN!
THE GOVERNMENT
MADE MONEY!

THERE’S SO MUCH
I WANT TO SAY,
BUT I’M CONFUSED.
FATHER, MAYBE YOU’RE
WATCHING IT ALL,
MAYBE YOU’RE HEARING
WHAT MY HEART SAYS.
IT’S BEEN TWENTY YEARS…
I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN
EVEN TWENTY SECONDS.
I HAVEN’T FORGOTTEN

FATHER!
I WILL
HAVE TO
LET YOU GO!

LOOK AT THOSE
WHO KILLED YOU
TODAY THEY ROAM AROUND
AS LEADERS.
YOUR FRIENDS
ARE ALL AFRAID,
UNCLES AND AUNTIES
DON’T SAY A WORD.
HAFLONG TOWN
LIVES IN FEAR.
THE ONE WITH MONEY
IS THE ONE WHO WINS.

DEATH IS CHEAP.
DEATH IS CHEAP.
BLOOD IS CHEAP.
BLOOD IS WATER.
WATER IS…
WHATEVER!
DEATH COMES EASY!
JUST KILL EVERYONE!
KILL EVERYBODY!
KILL THE WHOLE WORLD!
KILL ANYBODY
WHO SAYS ANYTHING!
KILL ANYBODY
WHO SAYS…
WHATEVER!
DON’T KILL ANYBODY
WHO SAYS “WHATEVER”!
EYE WITNESS?
IS THERE ANY
EYE WITNESS?
KILL EVERYONE!
YES, WE SHOT HIM!
IS THERE ANY
EYE WITNESS?
YOU CAN’T DO SHIT TO US!
YES, I’M AWARE OF THE CASE.
WITNESS NO. 3.
MY LORD!
THIS CASE IS NOTHING.
LET’S CLOSE THIS CASE!
YOU DO KNOW EVERYTHING!
WE HAD TO KILL
BECAUSE WE HAD TO
FOLLOW THE ORDERS.

WE DON’T TALK!
WE DON’T CRY!
WE DON’T SMILE!
WE DON’T DANCE!
LIKE WE USED TO.

FATHER!
I WILL
HAVE TO
LET YOU GO!

YES, THE WORLD
IS SO COLD,
COLDER
THAN
YOUR BODY WAS.

YES, THE WORLD
IS SO COLD,
COLDER
THAN
YOUR BODY WAS.

YES, THE WORLD
IS SO COLD,
COLDER
THAN
YOUR BODY WAS.

YES, THE WORLD
IS SO COLD,
COLDER
THAN
YOUR BODY WAS.

YES, THE WORLD
IS SO COLD,
COLDER
THAN
YOUR BODY WAS.
