Lynch Nation

A relentless journey across Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat, Rajasthan and Jharkhand, this film documents the aftermath of a spate of mob-lynching of minority communities at a time of rising cow vigilantism and Hindu nationalism in India. It records the heart-rending testimonies of eight families affected by these incidents, which have wrenched them apart and had ripple effects of fear and uncertainty against this increasing brutality. It is an independent and crowd-funded project, with no corporate backing.
