[Commons-Law] film screening - "Land First"

[george kurian]

There will be a screening of the film "Land First" at the lecture hall of the India International Centre Annexe, 40 Max Mueller Marg, next Saturday 12th February at 7pm.  
 
The film follows the month-long march by a group of Gandhian activists through Orissa, India’s poorest state.  As they journey, the marchers learn about the variety of land-related problems that are faced by people, many of them tribals, living on the margins of Orissa’s society – growing landlessness, displacement by industry, forest department pressure and mafia intimidation.  The marchers make their way towards Bhubaneswar, the state capital, seeking to put pressure on the government.  Will it listen to their demands to start taking the problems seriously?  
 
the film is made by amanda burrell an independent film maker from the UK who has been based in india for the last one and a half years she has previously worked for the BBC and has been part of other productions.
