Documentary offers view of Indian cinema

The International Wednesdays documentary series presents India Reborn: Manufacturing Dreams, tomorrow at noon in the International Student Centre on the second floor of Laurier Hall.

India produces an annual output of 1000 films, but obsession with the movies runs beyond watching them. Bollywood—Hindi cinema—has seeped into every aspect of life of people in this vast and diverse nation.

India Reborn charts the rise of one of the world’s emerging super powers. In this second part of the series originally produced for the CBC, directors Gert Anhalt and Jacqueline Corkery explore the experiences of people living through India’s dramatic transformation.

International Wednesdays screenings are free and open to the public.
