Dancers Were Only Allowed to Dance

Streaming video - 1980

Traditional Sri Lankan drummers and dancers belong to a low caste. In an effort to break away from caste restrictions, a drummer conducts dancing classes for the children in his impoverished village. He explains the difficulties of low caste existence – difficulties he feels were compounded by the British colonial government.
