Overview
Set amidst the ethnic violence that erupted in 2023 in Manipur, Northeast India, Fireflies in the Dark explores survival, resilience, and the human cost of civil conflict. Three interwoven stories craft distinct but connected portraits of lives caught in the strife: a pregnant woman struggles to give birth as gunfire surrounds her; a young boy searches for his mother with only a displaced stray calf for companionship; and a cafe owner risks her safety to shelter those fleeing for their lives.
