Marching in the Dark

Presented in collaboration with Otherfield Film Festival
Introduced by documentary filmmaker Jerry Rothwell

A group of women farmers come together to break the vicious cycle of debt and climate related chaos in Indian agriculture that has pushed their desperate husbands to kill themselves, leaving them with their debts.

Initially cautious and reserved, 28-year-old introverted Sanjeevani is slowly drawn into the healing power of community and of sharing their common experiences.

About Otherfield Film Festival
Otherfield is a Sussex based documentary festival dedicated to re-imagining the possibilities of nonfiction filmmaking. As documentaries on the larger streaming platforms become increasingly narrowly focused on celebrity and crime, Otherfield aims to create a window into other kinds of nonfiction filmmaking: films of unheard voices and places, personal films, films made or distributed in innovative or experimental ways. For the last three editions Otherfield has partnered with the Depot Cinema to bring films and filmmakers to the festival, which takes place in the first week of August.

Also screening at Depot as part of Otherfield:
Wednesday 18 March, 20:15: I’m Not Everything I Want To Be
Wednesday 20 May, 20:15: Mother City
