Duration: 30 mins
Kashmiri women weave memory threads to piece together a narratorial picture of what it feels to live in perpetual uncertainty in contemporary Kashmir. What does it mean to live under unending cycles of lockdowns, blockades, and blackouts, cut off from the outside world for what feels like eternity? This hybrid documentary delves into these questions and explores the idea of time, space, and freedom post the abrogation of Article 370 in 2019.
