Travel through India’s history under British rule in this emotionally stirring story of a nation on the road to independence. Taking us from Maharajas and Viceroys, fakirs and farmhands, and personalities such as Sabu and Gandhi, the BFI-commissioned Around India With a Movie Cameraexplores not only the people and places of over 70 years ago, but asks us to bear witness to the complexities of a colonialist past—and the ghosts that come with it. Award-winning filmmaker Sandhya Suri skillfully weaves together some of India's earliest surviving film footage with breathtaking travelogues, home movies, and a superb score by composer Soumik Datta.
