Description

Anand Patwardhan is India’s leading documentary film maker. For over four decades his investigative documentaries have charted life in modern India, from the nature of its economic development to the power of nationalism and religious fundamentalism, and the struggles by the poor and the marginalized for justice. It has taken legal action, including a decision by India’s Supreme Court, to prevent successive Indian governments from censoring his films and blocking them from being screened.
