Director’s Notes:

The documentary unfolds chronologically, with tension rising as events spiral. Each phase is told through testimonies, documents, and imagery, exposing the gap between those in power and their victims. With very elderly survivors, renowned historians, and descendants of key British figures, I also reveal obscure individuals whose hidden decisions played a dark, decisive role in this forgotten tragedy.

Production Notes:

The documentary is at an advacenced stage of development.  We have completed the initial historical research and filmed the irreplaceable interviews with the last surviving centenarians in India – people who personally lived through the mass deaths in Calcutta and the villages. A first treatment has already been written, and we’ve launched the international funding phase by presenting the project at Sunny Side of the Doc. We are also developing a highly innovative visual approach.
