'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.
