Based in Manipur, Yelhoumee Pictures is a creative production house with a noble goal to produce quality films that are emphasised on form and content.

Our main objective is to create responsible films that are of sociopolitical relevance.

We also believe in building a network of filmmakers and other innovative artists at the global level for exchanging ideas and collaboration.

Gun and a God

Play Video
Purnima is having the best of her evenings with her inmates in a jail room. Yet her every laughs and giggles are concealing a grave conflict. The visiting hours in the jail are dreadful with no one to visit her. These are the times when she finds herself asking who she is. Tagged as a “disgraced inheritance”, from an unknown father to a mentally unfit mother, her childhood was chastised. The reality of being an illegitimate child haunts during her teens and when she was married, it crucified her. A “Gun and a God” is the journey a woman, whose will was forged by the structural violence of her existence, who finally finds her voice in a Gun and justice in a God.
