Time 11 April · 18:30 - 20:00 ------------------------------ Location St Xavier College Near V T STATION Mumbai, India ------------------------------ Created by: FREE DR BINAYAK SEN CAMPAIGN<http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=14205312918> , Kamayani Bali Mahabal <http://www.facebook.com/kamayani> ------------------------------ More info Title : A DOCTOR TO DEFEND : the Binayak Sen story Country : India Year : 2011 Duration : 47 mins. The flm screening will be followed by Q and A The film is an interweaving of the journey of Binayak Sen from the influences that shaped the path he was to take later, whether it was the Christian Medical College where he studied or the trade union workers’ hospital where he worked at Dalli Rajhara or the Rupantar trust that he and his wife set up to help villagers---to the choices that seem almost inevitable. The decision to investigate and speak up against excesses going on in/by the state, knowing the outcome. As the film cuts back and forth in time, between various highpoints in Binayak’s life, with key players and primarily Binayak himself talking about his work and decisions, a portrait emerges : This is a man who cannot turn his face away from things that affect other people. He cannot just go ahead and live his own life, uncaring of what happens to the large section of society that is deprived or denied justice. As Binayak explains in greater detail the two-India theory, where the section that is rich, that is responsible for the 8 percent growth, the malls, the prosperity vis-à-vis the deprivation and struggle that the rest of India faces, he warns that people are not going to tolerate being pushed aside to suffer while others prosper. He urges people to come forward in a nation-wide plea for equity and peace and justice. Accompanied by rare footage of Salwa Judum camps at a time (July 2009) when it was still possible to sneak inside and clandestinely shoot, Binayak traces the genesis of the Salwa Judum ( a vigilante state-sponsored, movement to deal with the Naxalite problem in affected areas of Chhattisgarh) and says that violence is no solution. Dialogue is the only way out. The trial, the case against Binayak, the jail period, the immense support in the Free Binayak Sen campaign, the trauma his family underwent and continues to face, the price all of them paid for a choice that Binayak says he would still have made, were he to be asked to make it again….these are all important issues dealt with in the film which is non-linear in style and devoid of any voice-over. The film is a record, a testimony of what can happen to a ‘prisoner of conscience’ when he decides to follow that conscience all the way. And in view of the fact that Binayak Sen is currently in jail on a life sentence, with his bail petition having been rejected in the state High Court, his views on the current political situation in his state, ( with the exception of the legal case) and his thought processes are of vital interest to people worldwide. Binayak Sen’s interviews are all exclusive, so is the footage of him re-visiting his past, quite literally, his roots with the doctors and workers of Shahid hospital at Dalli Rajhara in Chhattisgarh, and his interaction with his family. The film is of archival value to human rights activists and to all people with a conscience worldwide as it profiles the life and views of a ‘prisoner of conscience’ whose voice is now silenced.
