A Thin Wall. Stories from the Partition of India
Description
This is a documentary about memory, history, and the possibility of reconciliation. It focuses on the partition of India in 1947, but derives lessons that remain urgently relevant today. Shot on both sides of the border - in modern day India and Pakistan - this film is a personal take on partition, rooted in stories passed down from one generation to another. It is written and directed by Mara Ahmed and co-produced by Surbhi Dewan. Both filmmakers are descendants of families torn apart by partition. The film is also a work of art infused with original animation, music, and literary writing.
