A special presentation, co-sponsored by the Amnesty International Film Festival.

Featuring a post-screening discussion with Arundhati Roy.



DAM/AGE

Director: Aradhana Seth
2002. India. 50 min. English
In collaboration with Arundhati Roy

Dam/age traces writer Arundhati Roy's bold and controversial campaign against the Narmada dam project in India, which led to her conviction for criminal contempt by India's Supreme Court. As the film traces the events that led up to her imprisonment, Roy meditates on her own personal negotiation with her fame, the responsibility it places on her as a writer, a political thinker and a citizen, and the choices she has made.
