Screening | Award-Winning Indian Documentary: Anand Patwardhan's Jai Bhim Comrade (2011)

Friday, December 7, 2012, 3:00 pm

Free

Fourteen years in the making, Patwardhan's documentary tells a story of Dalit and communal politics in Maharashtra, and the ongoing struggles of Dalits for justice and equality. When a statue of B. R. Ambedkar in Mumbai's Ramabai colony was desecrated in 1997, angry crowds gathered, and the police opened fire, killing ten unarmed persons, all of them from the Dalit community. Vilas Ghogre, an activist, poet and singer, who witnessed the events, later hung himself in despair. Jai Bhim Comrade traces the decade-long story of the protest through the poetry and music of Ghogre and others. Jai Bhim Comrade was named Best Film at both the Mumbai International Film Festival and Film South Asia, Katmandu, Nepal, and received the Firebird Award at the Hong Kong International Film Festival.
198 min.

Followed by a discussion with director Anand Patwardhan
