We watched the film, Funny Boy, directed by Deepa Mehta and adapted from Shyam Selvadurai’s 1994 novel, twice. We were surrounded by the numerous debates  and controversies about the film. The first time we watched it was with my daughter, aged 14 and the second time on January 1 with a small group of friends in Batticaloa, all of whom had lived through the war and worked tirelessly as peace activists. Both times the film took us to our own memories of the late 1970s and early 1980s.  We spoke of family members and ourselves being caught in the different violent incidents and riots pictured in the film. We spoke of family and friends leaving the country after their houses were destroyed in 1983. Everyone could connect to the feelings evoked in the film as it moved through those years and it left us silent in our own memories and buried feelings. Those years had altered many of us in fundamental ways.
