BEYOND THE COCOON | ERI SILK PRODUCTION IN MEGHALAYA

Описание: The documentary centers on Nianda Matong, a 56-year-old woman from Mawlong Nongtluh, Ri-Bhoi District, Meghalaya, who has dedicated her life to traditional weaving and farming. Despite being illiterate, she has become proficient in her craft through practice and training at local weaving centers. The documentary details the intricate process of silk production in Meghalaya, from silkworm cultivation to silk thread extraction and natural dyeing methods. It highlights the cultural and economic importance of weaving in the region, as almost every household in her village practices it now. Nianda's story is one of resilience and dedication, as she continues her work to support her family, choosing to remain unmarried due to the challenges of poverty and illness. Her narrative is an evidence to the rich heritage and enduring spirit of the people of Meghalaya.
