Muttrupulliyaa is a Sri Lankan film about four individuals of Tamil descent living in Sri Lanka after the end of the Sri Lankan Civil War in 2009. This is the first film from Sri Lanka to describe this period.
The story of Muttrupulliyaa is told through a former female Tamil tiger rebel living in Jaffna with her three children and her husband missing after he surrendered to the Sri Lankan army,[1] a historian living in the Vanni; an environmental activist from Colombo and a young journalist from Chennai who travels to Sri Lanka.
The production team had to shoot undercover in Sri Lanka, hiding their real identities because of the risks. Despite these precautions, some of the film team were arrested or forced into hiding.
