The Forgotten Generation

Directed by Deepa Dhanraj

2015 – 40'

Synopsis

In the Forgotten Generation older people aged over 60 in urban Tamil Nadu, rural Rajasthan and tribal Maharashtra reveal the realities of their lives, relationships and work as well as their expectations of the future. We learn how they manoeuvre within tight constraints to create new social and economic opportunities for themselves, their families and their friends and how targeted social pensions are producing Kafka-esque encounters with the State.
