Being Cow

'Being Cow' is a student short docu-essay film which observes the polymorphic image of the cow in the Indian context. It silently tries to capture the reverence of the animal yet also as a commodified currency with the use of images, sounds, and text references.

Based on "Myths of Holy Cow" - D.N.Jha
