DESCRIPTION:GDI is hosting a film screening of One Side of the Road\, a d
 ocumentary film by Jalil Nordman (French National Research Institute for
  Sustainable Development-DIAL)\, on Thursday\, 27th March at 5-7pm in A1
 01\, Samuel Alexander Building. The award-winning documentary explores t
 he segregation and oppression of Dalit populations in southern India and
  was filmed as part of a socio-economic research project using an ethnog
 raphic approach. \n\nFollowing the screening\, Jalil will answer audienc
 e questions in a Q&A. All welcome!\n\nSynopsis\n\nA road runs through a 
 village in Tamil Nadu in southern India. This road is a frontier that di
 vides habitats\, and it is a gateway to a wider world\, the nearby indus
 trial city\, a means of possible empowerment for some\, but the enslavem
 ent of others by the spatial segregation of castes in these rural areas 
 of southern India. Between 2019 and 2022\, four Dalits (former "untoucha
 bles") reveal their ongoing struggle to survive: over-indebtedness\, poo
 r working conditions in the sugar cane fields and brick factories\, dome
 stic and social violence\, discrimination and political unrest. These fo
 ur characters from the same village\, with their intertwined destinies\,
  describe their daily lives through intimate and rare testimonies\, whic
 h form a life journey around three extraordinary years marked by an inte
 rnational pandemic and its harsh economic and social consequences in rur
 al India. Fragile lives on one side\, the road appears as a partition of
  territory that emancipates\, separates and brings together all at once\
