Description:
Film screening and discussion with director Nakul Singh Sawhney
In 2013, northern India was shaken by a series of sectarian riots in which over a hundred people died and 80,000 were displaced. This documentary examines the relationship between the violence and the historic national elections of 2014. The film has been screened over 7,000 times in India, in defiance of efforts to ban it.
