“To my motherland, India.”
In her acceptance speech, Gonsalves said, “I stand here today to speak on the sacred bond between us and our natural world...Thank you to the Academy for recognizing our film...To Netflix for believing in the power of this film. To Boman Belli, for sharing their sacred tribal wisdom. … To my motherland, India.”
