Toxification (2020)
8.9 /10
India's prosperous Green Revolution was led by Punjab, a state in northern India famous for its lush rice fields and wet, fertile soil. But as farmers are conned into buying more and more pesticides, herbicides and fertilisers that they don't need, which demand often ten times more water, the water table is sinking at an alarming rate. Punjab's water has been poisoned by the chemicals, and the farmers poison their bodies with opium, helping them to work longer and harder. Loans from a middleman are taken out, with extortionate interest rates that are impossible to pay back. As a result, hundreds of Punjabi families are left without a father, husband or son as more and more farmers cave in under the pressure and drink their own chemicals to end their lives.

Rabba Hun Kee Kariye (-0001)
0 /10
Rabba Hun Kee Kariye trails a shared history of Punjab -- a culture, language and a way of life- that was torn asunder in the fateful year of 1947. It captures feelings of guilt and remorse about the genocidal violence on the Indian side of Punjab. These informal tales, almost like folklore, are strewn across the memory-scape of Punjab's countryside.

Milange Babey Ratan De Mele Te (-0001)
0 /10
On the eve of the British leaving the subcontinent in 1947, Punjab was partitioned along religious lines. Thus was created a Muslim majority state of Punjab (west) in Pakistan and a Hindu /Sikh majority state of Punjab (east) in India. For the people of Punjab, it created a paradoxical situation they had never experienced before: the self became the Other. The universe of a shared way of life -- Punjabiyat — was marginalised. It was replaced by perceptions of contending identities through the two nation states. For most of us this has been the narrative of Punjab-- once known as the land of five waters, now a cultural region spanning the border between Pakistan and India.

Trolley Times (2023)
0 /10
In September 2020, the Indian government passed three acts, known colloquially as farm laws, that sought to reform the way farmers sold their produce to the market. This triggered a series of non-violent protests across the country, with farmers chiefly from Punjab and Haryana marching towards New Delhi demanding a repeal of the laws. Prevented from entering the capital, they set up camps along highways, forming a veritable community that sustained the protests for over a year.
