Journalist Richard de Zoysa’s death still haunts Sri Lanka in ‘Rani’ – Southasia Weekly #55
This week in Himal
Lyca Productions
This week, Vihanga Perera writes about a new film Rani, which absolves the Ranasinghe Premadasa government of the murder of Richard de Zoysa, whose ghost still haunts Sri Lankan arts and society – and tarnishes the legacy of his mother, Manorani Saravanamuttu.
For this month’s edition of Screen Southasia, our monthly online documentary screening in collaboration with Film Southasia, we’ll be screening Tashi’s Turbine, directed by Amitabh Joshi. Tashi’s Turbine follows the story of two friends, Tashi Bista and Jeevan, who want to bring electricity to the village of Namdok, a village nestled in Upper Mustang, Nepal, which has long lived by candlelight.
