The Nagas | Rare Footage found from Nagaland of 1995 | Documentary by Pan Nalin

Synopsis

In 1995 Pan Nalin and his team made one of the most dangerous expeditions deep in the jungles of Nagaland to meet the last surviving traditional Naga people. The very last 1 minute of the film depicted 95% of the reality of Nagaland. But it is the rest of the film, for the first time, depicted rarely seen Naga lifestyle, songs, music, costumes, jewellery, and architecture. This film was made in 1995, and just two decades later none of the genuine tribesmen who appeared in the film were alive. The traditional homes and authentic Naga villages are now almost gone. This is one of the rare, last surviving documentaries on The Nagas. Monsoon Films & Pan Nalin Pictures present THE NAGAS a Pan Nalin film.
