1947: BREXIT INDIA

The film is a captivating 2-hour documentary that delves into the economic forces behind the British Empire’s colonization and subsequent decolonization of India. Directed by Sanjivan Lal and produced by Dr. Swarnjit Singh, the film presents a unique perspective on how Britain’s mercantile pursuits led to the historical event known as the “British Exit” from India in 1947. This documentary features a star-studded cast of insights from renowned personalities like Boman Irani, Shashi Tharoor, and William Dalrymple, who bring their unique perspectives to the narrative. It questions the accelerated departure of Britain influenced by American intervention post-World War II, leading to one of the greatest tragedies of the modern era.
