Rabba Hun Kee Kariye (Thus Departed our Neighbours) (65 mins)
India, 2007, directed by Ajay Bhardwaj
Rabba Hun Kee Kariye (Thus Departed our Neighbours) trails a shared history of Punjab - a subcontinental culture, language and a way of life- that was torn asunder in the fateful year of 1947. It captures the documentary maker’s almost unexpected encounter with feelings of guilt and remorse about the genocidal violence of the partition. These informal tales, almost like folklore, are strewn across the memoryscape of Punjabi countryside. This documentary invokes it in the public domain for the first time.
