Farming the Revolution
Punjabi and Hindi Film with English Subtitles (102 mins)

Farming the Revolution takes us to the heart of the massive year-long protests against the Indian government’s then newly enacted farm laws during the Covid-19 lockdown. Over half a million—men and women from all generations, religions, classes and castes gathered at protest sites that burgeoned on the borders of Delhi. The film invites us to experience the everyday textures and indomitable spirit of this historic farmers’ movement.
