Beautiful, interesting, incredible cinema.
Through the discerning lens of a Bahujan feminist filmmaker operating within the upper-caste Indian film industry, the film delves deep into critical themes of liberty, equality, fraternity, social justice, exclusion, and marginalised representation.
Anchored in Ambedkarite thought, Jyoti Nisha’s formally radical documentary boldly critiques caste representation in Indian media. Blending animation, interviews, and personal footage, the film draws a compelling arc from historical injustice to contemporary resistance and identity assertion.
