About the film:
Vasudhaiva Kutumbakam a Sanskrit phrase meaning “the world is family” is an ancient universalist idea that competes with exclusivist notions of caste.
Anand Patwardhan grew up in a family that had fought for India’s freedom but rarely spoke about it. Today as majoritarian ideologues rewrite India’s history what started as a home movie has become more precious than mere personal nostalgia.
About the filmmaker:
Anand Patwardhan is a renowned Indian documentary filmmaker known for his socially conscious and politically charged films. His works often explore sensitive topics like religious fundamentalism casteism nuclear nationalism and environmental issues. Some of his most acclaimed films include "Ram Ke Naam" and "Jai Bhim Comrade." Patwardhan's films have often faced censorship and legal challenges but he remains a prominent voice in Indian documentary filmmaking.
