Community screenings help a movie set during an Indian insurgency bypass censorship
The Indian film 'Satluj,' depicting a human rights activist's investigation into disappearances during Punjab's 1980s-90s insurgency, was censored by officials but is now being screened through grassroots community events. After being removed from a streaming platform, villagers in Punjab organized screenings in Sikh temples and public spaces to share the film's historical narrative.
