Synopsis
Highways of Life is a detailed look at the high octane lives of Manipur’s highway truckers. The film follows a group of truckers as they manoeuvre through the highways of North East India, putting their lives on line, ferrying essential commodities to serve the people of the landlocked state in the midst of two intense public movements played out on the roads.{{Cite web|url=https://filmsouthasia.org/portfolio-item/highways-of-life/|title=Highways of Life|accessdate=6 October 2024|website=filmsouthasia.org}}
