A Letter to Lanka moves between memories of the civil war and the current political turmoil. Told through the poetic and personal journey of the filmmaker’s reconnection to the land, soil, and people, it invites the audience to ponder existential questions of belonging in a chaotic world. What does it mean to be at home in the world? What binds people together, and what can break them apart?
