Film Screening: The World is Family (Anand Patwardhan, 2023)
Anand Partwardhan is known for his brave documentaries that question his country’s dominant Hindu nationalist ideology. In The World Is Family (an old Sanskrit phrase), Anand looks at his family’s elders who had fought for India’s Independence alongside Mahatma Gandhi in the first half of the 20th century. Today self-confessed supremacists whose ideology once inspired the murder of Mahatma Gandhi are in power. As they rewrite India’s history, memories of the past have become more precious than mere personal nostalgia (96 minutes, DCP). In Hindi with English subtitles.
