Akash Basumatari & Nishtha Jain  “In 2020 Gurbaz Sangha, a young Punjabi farmer led thousands to Delhi protesting new Farm Laws. Joined by over half a million from diverse backgrounds they remained at borders despite COVID lockdown vowing to stay until laws were repealed.” (IMDb)  “The film is remarkable in its audio-visual inquiry into protest as a cultural movement, and in its excavation of the emotional highs and lows involved in making lasting change.” (Variety; Siddhant Adlakha) Watch the trailer here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNG7vkTPnwE     For information on available assistive content for WUD Film screenings, please visit the Assistive Movie Screenings in the Marquee Theater page .    This event is intended for UW-Madison students, faculty, staff, Wisconsin Union members and their guests.
