Join our conversation with Daffodil Studios and Tara Dorabji, author and award-winning filmmaker, addressing the experiences of torture survivors in Kashmir.

Filmed in one of the most densely militarized lands on earth, Here Still documents the experiences of torture survivors in Kashmir, shedding light on one of the greatest atrocities of our times. Here Still is one of the only international documentaries that captures the complexity and vibrancy of the Kashmiri resistance movement. Shot during a temporary cease fire in 2018, Here Still provides a glimpse into the reality of life in Indian Occupied Kashmir with exclusive footage from torture survivors and human rights activists. 

Far-right Hindutva nationalists funnelled hundreds of millions of dollars rewriting Kashmir's history through propaganda films via the world’s largest film industry - Bollywood. Tara's documentary turns our attention toward those whose lives have been shaped by the violence that these narratives seek to erase.
