Directed by Nicholas Kharkongor, the film ‘Axone’, uses a quintessential ingredient to tell a tale of a misunderstood and under-represented community.

Axone, with an ensemble cast led by Sayani Gupta, Lin Laishram and Tenzing Dalha, tells a story of what it means to be from the Northeast and live in mainland India.
