Andha Samaj

Rashmi Kant
1989 India 32 minutes undetermined

In 1975, after years of working as a shepherd, Narayan Dhule, an untouchable farmer, fulfilled his ambition : to call a piece of land his own. But his dream was brutally shattered by upper-caste Hindus who gouged out his eyes to deprive him of his legally acquired land. The film follows Dhule’s journey from a thatched hut in Kupti to a nursing home in Bombay. An uncompromising indictment of the treatment meted out to the lowest of the lowest, the untouchables in free India.
