Our take

A thought-provoking meditation on Dalit resistance, memory, and belonging, Chaityabhumi is a moving record of Dr. B. R. Ambedkar’s inspiring legacy. Observational in style, the documentary tenderly places the community’s pride and joy at the center of its cultural and political expression.
