D: Naomi Shah & Pourush Turel
DoP: Pourush Turel
Script: Naomi Shah & Pourush Turel   

In India, the cow has gained prominence as a sacred animal after a Hindutva party came into power. Violence against Dalits and Muslims—traditional consumers of beef—has also increased proportionally. In July 2016, four Dalit men were attacked for doing their caste-based job—skinning a dead cow. The episode was recorded by the perpetrators and went viral on WhatsApp. The incident shocked civil society into action, prompting them to undertake a protest march across 400 kilometers to the original site of violence, demanding freedom from their caste-based oppression. The film enters the journey of the protestors and gives an immersive account of the felt injustice and visceral energy of a protest march.
