Paha Samath
2017, Sinhalese. Directed by Jayaprakash Sivagurunadan.
The story of a heroic boy who enlightened a village
Samath's humble and patient demeanor is also highlighted in the movie and contrasts vehemently with the sense of entitlement we see in children educated in major cities. His innate desire to ensure that his village receives electricity and find a practical method of supplying water to his parents' paddy field are what motivate him. Will he succeed?
