The prelude to Gorakhpur’s Cinema of Resistance festival is set on Platform no. 8 of the New Delhi railway station itself. It is teeming with farmers eager to board the Vaishali Express home after protesting the land acquisition bill in the capital. The inaugural film at the three-day event in Gorakhpur is a journey called Shramjeevi Express, a documentary on a similar defiance, of the silent, cheap workforce living on the fringes of Delhi, in a dreary hellhole called Kapashera. Tarun Bhartiya’s view of the workers’ bleak lives in the urban jungle is a mirror to the cruel oppression and disparities hidden in all the talk of ‘Make in India’ and ‘achhe din’.
