SYNOPSIS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThe battle between faith and reason is universal and ongoing. In India, the world\u2019s largest democracy, the ideology that murdered Mahatma Gandhi has finally captured power. Murder and mind control are being applied to dismantle a secular democracy that once aspired to the values of enlightenment and non-violence.\u00a0As accusations fly of \u2018eating cow meat\u2019 or \u2018treason of Mother India,\u2019 minorities and all those who fight for the poor bear the brunt of rising Hindu majoritarianism and a complicit corporate media.
Prominent Indian documentary filmmaker Anand Patwardhan fearlessly examines the far right at huge rallies where fascism is normalized, but also introduces us to rationalists who, despite appearing on hit lists, lead a growing resistance.\u00a0Through his masterful lens and elaborate film architecture, this journey into detail finally reveals the big picture. It leaves us with the feeling that we\u2019ve been to India, smelled the streets, met the people and shared the empathy that shines from many of\u00a0them.\u201d (IDFA)
REASON won the IDFA Award for Best Feature Length Documentary 2018 for \u201cits epic storytelling of the rise of the far right in one of the most populated countries of this planet, the violence of religious and ultranationalist militias with the support of authorities and dominant medias, the dignity of resistance in multiple forms, often at life-cost, in a way that acknowledges the complexity of the situation but put it in a very understandable shape.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
