Pravasi – an ode for the migrants that the state has forgotten. The severe pandemic lockdown brought along with it immense police brutality and pain to the120 million daily wage workers across the country. Without any governmental assistance, the dismayed, hungry migrants, pregnant women and small children began walking 1000s of miles towards their villages and towns. Walking for days with no money and food, some made it, others died along the way.
This film is a chronicle of those tragic events, a collective failure of the nation – the administration and its citizens to help their own people. These series of indelible images of the nation’s largest man made crisis are something that we shouldn’t ever forget.
