We, featuring the words of Arundhati Roy

Posted on September 17, 2010January 17, 2018 by Dharma Documentaries
This is a 'must see' 64 minute documentary film. The film examines the widely unregarded worlds of Anthropology and Geopolitics in a very dynamic manner, and is probably stylistically quite unlike any documentary that you have previously seen.

We, featuring the words of Arundhati RoyThis is a ‘must see’ 64 minute documentary film. In 1997 Arundhati Roy won the Booker Prize for her novel “The God of Small Things”. In 2004 she was awarded the Sydney Peace Prize. The film examines the widely unregarded worlds of Anthropology and Geopolitics in a very dynamic manner, and is probably stylistically quite unlike any documentary that you have previously seen.

It covers the world politics of power, war, corporations, deception and exploitation. It is particularly hard hitting when it comes to the United States and western powers in general. Its unconventional style has proven to be very successful in engaging younger viewers – many of whom find more traditional content dealing with these subjects quite dry and uninteresting.

It is almost in the style of a music video, featuring contemporary music (lush, curve, love & rockets, boards of canada, nine inch nails, dead can dance, amon tobin, massive attack, totoise, telepop, placebo and faith less) overlaid with the words of Arundhati Roy, and images of humanity and the world we live in today.

Most of the text of the film comes from Arundhati Roy’s famous “Come September” speech, given in Santa Fe, New Mexico one year after September 11th, and not long after the invasion of Afghanistan.
