Episode 17 features a reading from chapter 3, “Campfires of Resistance in Cheran,” recounting the April 15, 2011 insurrection led by indigenous women who defended their forests and community against illegal loggers, corrupt officials and organised crime. The episode describes the spontaneous campfire gatherings, barricades, and grassroots strategies that rebuilt social life and security in Cheran. It also covers the legal and political aftermath: the community’s shift to self-government under indigenous customs, judicial recognition of their autonomy, and how visibility—eventually aided by the internet—helped spread solidarity and inspire other indigenous movements.
