2. DEJA VU
Director, Producer // Bedabrata Pain
Producers// Rajashik Tarafder, Sristy Agrawal
Country of Origin // United States
Synopsis //At a time when corporate power has made everyday life a veritable struggle for working people, comes the documentary “Déjà vu”. Framed against the backdrop of Indian farmers’ protests – the largest such mobilization in recent times – the movie chronicles voices that are rarely heard: small family farmers in the United States — oft-ignored and conveniently marginalized.
Over the last four decades, these American farmers have lived through sweeping market reforms and steady corporatization of agriculture. But how did the reforms turn out? Who benefited? Who lost out? The farmers, the consumers, or the corporates?
