Soz - A Ballad of Maladies

★ National Film Award for Best First Non-Feature Film

Poets, rappers, painters and singers in Kashmir describe what it takes to keep making work inside one of the most heavily militarised places on earth, and what that work costs them. Tushar Madhav and Sarvnik Kaur let the performances run long enough that the defiance in them is audible rather than explained.

Why it's free: PSBT commissioned and produced the film with Doordarshan India and publishes it on its own channel.
