The Collaborator. Mirza Waheed762 руб
Indian soldiers appear as if from nowhere to hunt for militants on the run. It is Kashmir in the early 1990s and war has finally reached the isolated village of Nowgam close to the Pakistan border. Only one of their friends, the son of the headman, is left behind. Four teenage boys, who used to spend their afternoons playing cricket, or singing Bollywood ballads down by the river, have disappeared one by one, to cross into Pakistan and join the movement against the Indian army. But the headman will not allow his family to leave. The families in the village begin to think it?s time to flee, to search for a place of greater safety. The Colloborator is a stunningly humane. And, whilst the headman watches his dreams give way beneath the growing violence, his son, under the brutal, drunken gaze of the Indian army captain, is seemingly forced to collaborate and go into the valley to count the corpses, fearing, each day, that he will discover one of his friends lying amongst the dead.
