"Shot Awake" - The Making of Changlangshu's New Logdrum

After a hiatus of fifty seven years, the Shajung Morung of Changlangshu village made a decision to make a new logdrum. Although the decision was made by the clans of this Morung, the entire village community participated in the process of pulling the logdrum into the village from the jungle where it had been cut and carved out by hand. Changlangshu village is located in the Tobu area of Mon district in Nagaland, India.
Story written and narrated by Anungla Zoe Longkumer.
Filmed by Sangti Wanmai and Angke Konyak..
Edited by Megotsolie Dolie and Anungla Zoe Longkumer.
Produced by Moba Langfhoang.
Copyright 2018 Shajung Morung.
When the logdrum was being made, Moba had the foresight to have the process documented and asked these young aspiring filmmakers from the village to shoot it. They used what was available, a canon camera and a handycam, and managed to film quite a bit considering it took almost a month for the logdrum to be made and pulled to the village. The footage was finally put to good use five years later when Moba met Anungla Zoe and requested her to make something out of it.
Under the initiative of the Changlangshu Students’ Union, this documentary film was released by Advisor of Information and Public Relations, SCERT, VG, Mr. Toshi Wungtung, on 2nd May 2019 in Kohima, Nagaland.
The film was first previewed in 2019 at the Indigenous Film Festival in Orissa, India and thereafter screened at the:
International Indigenous Film Festival, Bali, Indonesia, 2019
Rainforest Fringe Festival, Kuching, Sarawak, Malaysia, 2019
Mumbai International Film Festival, Mumbai, India, 2020
JDCA International Film Festival on Art and Artists, 2020
Tribal Gathering, Panama, Central America, 2020

South eastern part of Arunachal Pradesh called Wancho tribe also has this same tradition of having Logdrums in every morong(male's dormitories ) in the villages.. Konyak tribe of Nagaland and Wancho tribe of Arunachal Pradesh inherits same cultural and traditional practices...

[@worldwideweb9431]

Konyak (lower) and wancho are same tribe and similar to nocte tribe too name and culture

[@ngamtokkonyak1784]

Same tribe different names

[@larnihanshu695]

Because they're from the same Naga ancestry...wancho, nocte, tutsa and tangsa are nagas too.

[@Funky23493]

This is Coordination and team work at its highest peak ❤️.This process sets an example to be followed by all the Nagas 🙏No matter what tribe we are from We should all be United and stand together . I m soo blessed that I was recommended this documentary ,got to learn alot about your community's practices and traditions❤️
