Movie about Gujarat riots raises questions of censorship, peace, and the truth

Here is an interesting article from the International Herald Tribune that discusses the film "Parzania" and it's reception—or rather non-reception—in the film's geographical setting, the Indian state of Gujarat. Having spent a little time in Gujarat on two separate occasions, my co-worker and friend VJ sent this article to me in an e-mail, thinking it would be of interest. If you are at all interested in Gujarat and the impact of the 2002 riots, you may find this article interesting, as I did. And so I pass it onto you as well.

Response to the film "Parzania" raises the question: Can Gujarat confront its brutal past? - International Herald Tribune

No idea if the film will be showing in the U.S. anytime soon. Perhaps a DVD release?

Happy Thursday.
