Country: India
Director: S.N.S Sastry
A short documentary, created by the governtment-run producing house Films Division, where a few young people who were born exactly the day of the Independence of India get asked about their dreams, hopes and fears but mostly about their views on India. So "I am 20" is not in reality about them, is rather a film about a country who does its first steps as indepentent state and already fails badly. In just 19 minutes most of social issues of the country are exposed: the face of the country looks often ugly but these young fresh faces of the interviewed youngsters give hope. However we know already that, 50 years later, this hope got crushed. Rediscovering the film the Indian viewers of today , it said that they got shocked: the India of today faces exactly the same issues, not even one step of progress has be done
