A film crew journeys to banks of the Sutlej River, where India and Pakistan meet, to document the river’s changing fate. As the team films, forgotten histories resurface.
Read this as the first piece in the early morning. Nice to read. Will watch documentary. Rivers are legends and their depth hide untold mysteries.
Favorite line from the write up: "The incongruity of being literally on the same spot but our phones placing us in different time-zones reminds us of the absurdity of the 1947 Partition of the Punjab."
Ah, the absurdity of Punjab's partition, a poignant reminder of the forgotten tales of suffering, divided families, unhealed wounds, and lost heritage.
A piece of my heart remains lost and buried along the banks of the River Sutlej, where memories linger like whispers of a bygone era. The nostalgia is palpable, a bittersweet ache that refuses to fade.
The child in me, who once played on its banks, yearns to return to those carefree days when the river's currents ran wild and life pulsed with unbridled energy.

Great to read; would love to see your film!

Maybe another month or two. I will share the documentary link once it’s online.
