SUMMARY:Farming the Revolution
DESCRIPTION:Join Cinema Politica for the Montreal Premiere of FARMING THE R
 EVOLUTION followed by a discussion with Director Nishtha Jain moderated by
  Karan Singh!\nAn astonishing work of social movement cinema\, this dynami
 c documentary captures the complexity and spirit of India's largest farmer
 s protest in history.\nABOUT THE FILM\n\nFARMING THE REVOLUTIONNishtha Jai
 n / India\, Norway / 2022 / 1 hour 40 minutes\nIn November 2020\, Gurbaz S
 angha\, a young farmer from Punjab\, embarked on a remarkable journey. Rid
 ing his tractor for 400 kilometres to Delhi\, he joined forces with thousa
 nds\, and later more than half a million\, men and women from diverse back
 grounds. Their united mission: to stand against the newly enacted Farm Law
 s\, despite widespread opposition. Amid a COVID lockdown\, these farmers
 —representing over half of India’s workforce—vowed to remain at the 
 borders until the laws were repealed. In this parallel world\, they redefi
 ned co-existence\, with women emerging as equal political partners rather 
 than mere supporting characters. Day after day\, the protesters showcased 
 India’s pluralistic\, defiant and resilient spirit—often overlooked by
  the media. As the movement gained momentum\, farmers across the country a
 nd trade unions of industrial workers rallied in solidarity. The scale of 
 these protests echoed the spirit of India’s independence movement\, culm
 inating in an unexpected\, triumphant outcome.\nEVENT DETAILS\n\nThis even
 t is co-presented by Teesri Duniya Theatre South Asian Youth (SAY) Collect
 ive\, Funambules Medias\, South Asian Diaspora Action Collective SADAC and
  Fondation AlterCiné.\nAdmission is by donation ($5-10 suggested). The ve
 nue is wheelchair accessible. In order to prevent the spreading of COVID 1
 9\, wearing a mask at Cinema Politica Concordia events is strongly recomme
