Rare images, intimate footage, and experimental filmmaking explore the legacies of Frantz Fanon and Richard Wright, two crucially influential anti-colonialist thinkers of the 20th century.
A young man, eternally 20, walks through history, poverty, squalor, and death in this Bengali art film by renowned Indian director Mrinal Sen. The nameless, unaging narrator comes and goes across four stories, each of which confronts the painful realities of poverty and degradation. Sen urges the middle class to reject the plague of complacency and question the culturally ingrained expectation that the lower class in India must suffer.
