How We Celebrate Freedom

Festival history
In the Kashmir valley, a paradise bloodied by two decades of violence, people begin to add up the terrible costs of a struggle that promised independence from India. But as we engage with the brutal truths of Kashmir’s present, freedom’s terrible thirst still seems as sharp as ever... Using documentary footage, poetic imagery, and rare archival material, this uncommon narrative breaks the silence on a little understood tragedy, one that is overshadowed by the dazzle of Indian democracy.
