This film is a provocative look at Indian democracy as practiced in Kashmir, India's only Muslim-majority state; a reflection on power, resistance, and freedom in the 60th year of India's independence.

In addition to the film screening, there will be a discussion with the film's director, Sanjay Kak.

This screening is co-sponsored by the Spurlock Museum, Global Crossroads, and the South Asia Reading Group.  The film series is sponsored by The Center for South Asian and Middle Eastern Studies, the Center for Global Studies, and the Illinois Network on Islam and Muslim Studies.
