DIRECTOR'S NOTE

‘Village Rockstars 2’ continues from where ‘Village Rockstars’ ends. What happens when Dhunu has her own guitar? And yet this film stands on its own, delving into Dhunu's relationship with her mother, mother nature, and music. I believe this is an important film that touches on youth aspirations, relationships, friendships, and the evolving landscape of the modern world. This film is for young people with talent and dreams but few resources to achieve them.
