were here (2017)

Using reenactment, journal readings, and speculation, Oliver Husain's multilayered video vibrantly evokes the Indian performer and activist Snehalata Reddy, who was incarcerated in the Bangalore Central Jail in 1976 with no hearing, no charges filed, and no recourse to a court of law during the state of emergency declared by Indira Gandhi.
