Experiencing Interruptions?

Anish.mov

Anish is a filmmaker from Hyderabad who is fascinated by the lives of the Fakhirani Jat, a nomadic tribal community of camel herders in the Banni grasslands of Kutch, Gujarat. He wants to make a film on them and make it reach people, hoping it would better the living conditions of the tribe. But all is not as it appears, as a local politician, an old patriarch, a veterinary doctor and even the tribe themselves all have differing views on him and his act of filming. As Anish tries to navigate this unknown territory, a question arises: Is he helping them or being exploited by them?
