Join the live debate led by Preeti Choudhry on the recent controversy surrounding a new film released on an OTT platform. The discussion focuses on the movie depicting the disappearances and extrajudicial killings in Punjab during the early nineties. The panel examines whether the release of the film acts as a threat to national security and public order, or if it serves as a necessary reflection on state excesses against citizens.
Participants explore the historical context of the insurgency, the lack of regulatory frameworks for self-certified digital content, and the potential impact on the youth. While some argue that revisiting the scars of history could disrupt the healing process and fan anti-national sentiments, others champion the artistic freedom to document real-life struggles and human rights issues. The debate also highlights the legal actions taken, including a complaint filed with the Ministry of Home Affairs, questioning the motivations behind the cinematic portrayal and its sudden removal from the digital space.
