Don't worry about India

Arjun Jr, Nama Filmcollective

2022 Germany DOC 90 '

An Indian filmmaker returns to his homeland during the national elections. While his privileged upper-class family doesn’t want to talk about politics, the cleaners, cooks and drivers who have been working for the family for years, do. What unfolds in front of the filmmaker's camera, is an insightful and often disturbing story about how the world's biggest democracy has become rooted in inequality and right-wing populism. With a dry sense of humour and eye for the absurd, the director tries to comprehend the India of today, while connecting collective and family history. Don't Worry About India is a call for individual responsibility and a highly entertaining portrait of democracy in the 21st century.
