History
David Adams’ journey takes us into a Sudan we rarely see. On the flat waters of the Nile, he hears the creaking of the rigging catching the wind as river-travelers have for thousands of years. While the battlements of ancient fortresses standing on shore are occasional reminders of the region’s violent past, he is able to contemplate that era from the relative peace of the wide river.

Eyes Of The Rainbow A Documentary Film - Assata Shakur
In September 2020, 4 upper caste Thakur men allegedly brutally gang-raped and attacked a 19-year-old Dalit woman in India’s most populous state, Uttar Pradesh. She died because of it and the police hurriedly cremated her without the consent of the family. This tragedy led to India actually being forced to deal with its caste problem. In this documentary, we look at the intersection of caste, gender, and violence specifically against Dalit women in India.
**Corrections**
@2:15 - The word 'dalit' in Devanagari script is incorrectly spelled. It should be spelled 'दलित'.
@12:26 - The subtitle should read, "How can one boy drag her and take her away?"@13:28 - The subtitle should read "You all can scream, "hang them, hang them!"
@22:24 - "Nothing's"
@15:15 - This one is 'Rajput'
@15:34 - "These girls are part of the caste quota."
@28:44 - Should be "UP Police","FIR"
The Struggle of the Untouchables (2014): India's caste system has a legacy of persecution and discrimination. One of the few hopes for the country's 240 million Untouchables is a grass-roots movement that is changing Dalit's lives across the country.
Political activist M.C Raj has found himself at the forefront of The Dalit Movement. Born into the untouchable caste, Raj tirelessly campaigns for the recognition of the rights of the Dalits. According to Raj it begins with the right to own land. "Only then can we end dependence on caste forces", he argues. Discrimination against Dalits has been prohibited by law since 1949, but in practice segregation persists today. That's why, despite the significant gains made by the movement, Raj refuses to stand still. "Of course we always live under threat to our lives, but that is immaterial for us. We are ready to die. Our people should have land."Marion Mayor-Hohdahl
