267. Prisoners of conscience (1978)

 

Country: India

Directed by Anand Patwardhan


One of the rare documentaries about the brutality of Indian state against the leftist protesters and political prisoners during the 70's. Having a high historical value, the film depicts with simplicity the violence imposed by the establishment against everyone who dared to demand better conditions of lives for the poor, real democracy and justice. Anand Patwardhan does here what he continued to do his whole career: real and raw political cinema taking always the side of the vulnerable
