Hello facebook!
I’m posting to let everyone know that a film I worked on as an editor is screening at the Glendale International Film Festival this week. Here’s the short synopsis from the GIFF website! https://glendaleiff.org/schedule-24/
“Rise From It” Directed by Tara Dorabji. Filmed in the most densely militarized land on earth, Rise From It is one of the only international documentaries that captures the complexity and vibrancy of the Kashmiri resistance movement. Featuring exclusive interviews with young men blinded by pellets fired by the Indian Army, the film provides a global lens on issues of police and military violence. Indian military forces routinely use pellet guns as forms of crowd control in Kashmir. Rise From It captures the stories and resilience of Kashmiris and provides a rare window into life under occupation.
It’s a tough subject and I’m very proud of the work I’ve done on this piece. If you or anyone you know is in the Los Angeles area and are interested the Screening is part of Program 17: Saturday, September 28 at 5:55pm https://glendaleiff.org/schedule-24/.
