Gursharan Singh Memorial Lecture Committee presents FARMING THE REVOLUTION, a documentary on the massive year-long farmers’ agitation (2020-21) against the Indian government’s unjust agriculture laws. Braving inclement weather and state-sponsored violence, millions of farmers remain undeterred as they leave their homes and set up tents on the outskirts of New Delhi. The farmers remained resolute on the highways for 13 months, until the unjust laws were withdrawn.

The farmers’ agitation had received tremendous support from the South Asian community in Canada and Canada’s trade unions.

The documentary records the untiring resilience of Indian farmers’ resistance against the pro corporate farm laws enacted by the Indian government to advance the interests of crony capitalists such as Ambani and Adani.

The screening will be followed by a Q&A session with Director Nishtha Jain. The screening is FREE TO THE PUBLIC.

This documentary has won several awards.
