A Time to Rise
Producers:

Angad S Bhalla, Siddhartha Luther

A critical documentary exploring the pop, underground and alternative art culture. Whether through artistic drawings, films billboards, political posters, Warli traditional art or graffiti tagging, all survive on the margins in spite of, and as a refuge from, the ever-present industrial, film and business worlds. With infectious optimism, three young men eke out a living in India’s largest cities using public art to express their hopes and dreams.
