“In Search of Gold: Working under Extractive Colonial Capitalism in British India”
Co-sponsored by the MSU Asian Studies Center

The Filmmaker will show and discuss his short documentary, IN SEARCH OF GOLD, which weaves together the different lived and remembered histories of people who built this highly profitable enterprise in India's Kolar goldfields. Against the background of the grim imagery of the now defunct mining operations, the film brings together narratives of collective socio-political struggles of the past, nostalgia for lost privileges and communities, and the anxiety of an uncertain future.
