Doc/Fest 2019: Reason
UK Premiere
400 years after the Enlightenment, Faith retains a global upper hand over Reason. In India, the world’s largest democracy, murder and mind control are dismantling secular democracy in a country that once aspired not just to Liberty, Equality and Fraternity but to lead the post-war world out of mindless violence. And yet the battle for Reason is not lost. Even as Brahminism (a priest ordained caste hierarchy that withheld knowledge from working castes) drapes itself in the national flag and sends out hit squads, resistance has not ended. For every rationalist gunned more rise to be counted.
