Event Description
70 mins | Documentary | India | 2021 | Bangla, English, Hindi | English subtitles Directed by Dwaipayan Banerjee and Kasturi Basu How did Hindu-Nationalist (HN) politics find a foothold in West Bengal after all these decades? Using fresh and archival footage with personal family history, A Bid for Bengal lays bare historical fault lines and visits the workings of frontal organizations in the HN network responsible for the recent political shift in West Bengal, in between witnessing two consecutive elections trails, from 2019 to 2021. As resistance takes shape, one arrives at the immediate present marred with anxiety, yet not bereft of hope. The screening will be followed by a discussion between Madhu Bhushan and the directors of the film, Dwaipayan Banerjee and Kasturi Basu. There will be a Q&A session following the discussion.
