Community screenings help a movie set during an Indian insurgency bypass censorship

The film 'Satluj,' depicting a human rights activist's investigation into extrajudicial killings during Punjab's 1980s-90s insurgency, was blocked by Indian officials and later removed from a streaming platform, prompting community screenings in Sikh temples and villages. The movie, originally titled 'Punjab 95,' faced censorship demands for over 120 cuts and is now shown through grassroots efforts in Punjab, highlighting memories of the conflict.
