“The Voice of the Sea”

Set along the fragile coast of Odisha ravaged by the 1999 Super Cyclone, the story follows Urmi, whose husband and children were swept away during the storm surge. Years later, as rising sea levels and coastal erosion threaten her village, she battles bureaucratic apathy after being denied government cyclone relief due to a lack of official disaster records. Alongside her desperate fight for compensation, the film follows Dada, an aging fisherman forced by depleting marine resources to give up his rusted trawler and work as a net weaver.
