In Tora, a remote village on the India-Myanmar border with minimal infrastructure and few economic opportunities, residents receive a glimmer of hope when they learn that electricity may at last be coming to the region—a promise they have heard before, only to be let down. Over the course of three years, FLICKERING LIGHTS follows Tora’s residents—including a poor but ambitious mother determined to make a better life for her children, a young lawyer eager to establish himself as a community leader, and a ninety-six-year-old who believes nothing will ever change—as they look with a mix of cautious optimism and uncertainty toward a future that may or may not come.
