A stirring account of peaceful mass protest, Farming the Revolution follows the year-long Indian farmers' protest of 2020, an outcry in response to the country's newly enacted agricultural laws.
Driving tractors from Punjab to the border of Delhi, bringing food to share and setting up camp, over half a million protesters gathered – men and women from all generations, religions, classes and castes – determined to hold their ground until the laws were repealed.
Nishtha Jain’s expansive portrait invites us to experience the everyday textures and indomitable spirit of this unprecedented movement, which culminated in an historic, triumphant outcome.
