00:00It was excellent. Especially in English, there are two terms, Marxologist and Marxist. A
00:07Marxologist is someone who has extensively studied Marx, someone who has studied a lot
00:11about that history and theory. They are Marxologists. A Marxist is someone who is
00:16like the people in this movie, and we can differentiate them like that. Reading and
00:21debating are different from journeying with people, sacrificing for people, and standing
00:26firm in the field. It was a great documentary for conveying that to this generation. Because
00:33what today's youth desperately need is a lack of awareness that all the rights we have today
00:38have always existed or were obtained easily. There's a lack of awareness. This was a great
00:48documentary to show how much effort is needed to get even a little justice for each right,
00:53how many sacrifices have to be made, and how much determination is needed.
00:59To my knowledge, this is the first documentary in Tamil to show how people working as a party
01:05rallied together and won justice. By watching this, I think the youth can learn a basic lesson
01:11on what it means for people to unite as a working class and gain justice.
01:16You've heard about it, right? Definitely heard about it. We followed that case closely.
01:21When the verdict came in 2023, it was a huge celebration.
01:27That celebration wasn't like celebrating a movie.
01:32Done. It's a great example.
01:36After this verdict, after this justice was obtained from the sacrifices of the Vachathi people,
01:41it was a great victory to prevent another Vachathi from happening. It was a big celebration.
01:47We realized all that in 2023. I know now what the Hill Tribe Association did.
01:52I know how much people suffered.
01:57But now, what Kamaraj Ambrose did coming from the BSNL, from the CID, in every way, comrades came and
02:04did as much as they could, be it their work or their possessions, putting everything at risk because
02:08he was doing it from that position.
02:14Everyone may have been planning to get him fired, planning to kill him.
02:17But overcoming all that, those individuals became a great inspiration for the movement, right?
02:23That came out really well in this documentary.
02:27Especially Kamaraj Ambrose and like that, in many small
02:33roles, many comrades, what help they gave, that was very detailed in the documentary,
02:38when I saw it, thank you.
