I didn’t quite know how to introduce this film myself, so here’s the description from their website.

This is an unusual kind of underground production. An anonymous sympathiser has edited a video recording of Roy’s speech over 64 minutes, interspersing an impressive array of archival footage to illustrate themes and specific historical events. Contemporary music overlaid throughout the piece shifts the mood and quickens the pace. The result is a visual essay rather than a traditional documentary, perfectly suited to its creator’s intentions, which is to spread the anti-imperialist, social justice politics of Arundhati Roy everywhere.

Also, don’t miss an interview with the film’s creator. Feel free to share your thoughts in the comments. I know this film stirred some thoughts in me — but I’m curious to hear yours.
