The film, “Govi Thaththa” (Father, the farmer) is introduced as the first of its kind in Asia to portray the tragedies people and the environment are faced with today due to moving away from nature-friendly agro practices of the past to adopt chemical-based agriculture. This movie is considered as the first-ever movie directed by a musician and produced by a farmer.
