Departments of Media and Cultural Studies, Religious Studies with support from Center of Ideas and Society and the Program for Decolonzing Humanities present the film I am not the River Jhelum and an opportunity to interact with its director Prabhash Chandra. The film explores through its young protagonist Afeefa the forces at play in Kashmir, India, a highly militarized region of the world. It evokes the suffocation and trauma experienced by Afeefa in an atmosphere of perpetual uncertainty and violence. The director Prabash Chandra is a graduate in Physics and has lived and worked in Kashmir as a teacher. He brings his own understanding of the conflict to shape his artistic endeavor aimed at promoting better comprehension of the situation in Kashmir.
