The documentary “Breaking the Silence”, depicts the journey of the struggle and resistance of the first organised women musical group in Assam. The group consisting of five women- Anjali Mahanta, Nazma Ahmed, Sewali Lekharu, Kabita Nath and Arati Mahanta, did stage performance in the 1980s. Fighting against the social and religious taboos on the role of women, they continued their musical journey in the patriarchal society. The five women belonging to different caste and religion, redefined woman’s position in the society.
