Jashan-e-Azadi plot

In 2007, as India celebrates 60 years of independence, it raises questions about freedom in Kashmir. As the inhabitants take stock in the aftermath of the 18-year armed conflict, this film shows the painful consequences of their struggle and the varying degrees of freedom in present-day India. Through a mix of cinéma vérité-esque imagery, rare archival footage and poetry, the film offers a fascinating look at modern Indian democracy and a reflection on power, resistance and 'the great thirst of freedom'.
