FREEDOM

LC005- FREEDOM, dir. Amar Kanwar, 2001/58 mins/English subtitles

Freedom….! is a film about nature and captivity, about working people resisting an onslaught on their
livelihood, about democracy, profit and the sound of the rain. From the British colonial empire to the
globalisation of today, from the anti mining tribal resistance in Kashipur and Gandhmardhan in Orissa, the
mass movements in Chattisgarh to the coastal communities in their struggle against big ports and
industrial parks in Kutch and Umbergaon. The film documents and presents the insights into many
different people struggle in India.
