After the Union Ministry of Information and Broadcasting denied censor exemption to a film on Hyderabad university PhD scholar Rohith Vemula – who committed suicide in January 2016 – the filmmaker has made the film available online.
Titled ‘The Unbearable Being of Lightness’, a play on Milan Kundera's novel ‘The Unbearable Lightness of Being’, the Vemula documentary is among the three films which have been barred from being screened at the upcoming International Documentary and Short Film Festival of Kerala because of the I&B ministry's decision.
