Inspired by the 10th anniversary of IndieJunior, the festival team reveals in anticipation one of the films from 2014 programme.

Based on a true story, “Kush” by Shubhashish Bhutiani won the Orizzonti award for best short film at the Venice International Film Festival organized by the Venice Biennale in 2013.

In 1984, Indian Prime Minister Indira Gandhi was assassinated by her two Sikh bodyguards, causing anti-Sikh riots to erupt throughout the country. A teacher travelling back from a field trip with her class of 10-year-old students struggles to protect Kush, the only Sikh student in the class, from the growing violence around him.
