The national #lockdown imposed by the Indian government early last year caused untold pain and suffering, not least for #migrantworkers who, suddenly left without an income or a support system, were compelled to leave cities for their villages and small towns, often walking hundreds of miles on foot.
Vilaap, a new documentary, tells the story of how last year’s mismanaged lockdown unleashed a humanitarian disaster in India. Coming soon!
This film was produced with support from the Thakur Foundation.
