Community screenings help a movie set during an Indian insurgency bypass censorship
A movie titled 'Satluj,' depicting a human rights activist's investigation into disappearances during Punjab's 1980s-90s insurgency, bypassed censorship through community screenings after being blocked by Indian officials. The film, initially titled 'Punjab 95,' was removed from a streaming platform but gained traction in village screenings organized by Sikh groups and activists.
