Drowned Out: screening by the Oxford Narmada Campaign

Told from the perspective of a single family uprooted by the
Sardar Sarovar dam (about to be displaced in the film, already displaced at the time
I write this email), the documentary is remarkable for the relative unobtrusiveness
of the film-maker's voice. So come hear tribal people speak for themselves, and
maybe you will be inspired enough to join the Oxford solidarity and advocacy chapter
of this remarkable campaign.
