INDYMEDIA CINEMA @ The Other Cinema

An ongoing showcase of contemporary filmmakers who are finding new
forms of cinema to show resistance to globalization throughout the world.

27th March 9.30pm

'Drowned Out' Directed by Franny Armstrong
UK 2002 75 minutes

An Indian family decide to stay at home and drown rather than make
way for the Narmada dam. Three choices, move to the slums in the
city, accept a place at a resettlement site or stay at home and
drown. The people of Jalsindhi in central India must make a decision
fast. In the next few weeks, their village will disappear underwater
as the giant Narmada Dam fills.

'An inspiring record of a quite extraordinary campaign of mass resistance,
at once angry, compassionate, disturbing and yet empowering. It
makes for urgent and necessary viewing.'
- Gareth Evans, Time Out

"This is the heart of politics, this is the story of modern
India" - Arundhati Roy

The Director will be present for a discussion
after the screening.
