Synopsis

Scars - 100 Years of Jallianwala BaghOn April 13th, 1919, a peaceful protest by civilians turned into a horrific bloodshed that stunned the nation. A day that traditionally falls on Vaisakhi is also a dark reminder of the Jallianwala Bagh 'hatyakand' (massacre).

To mark its 100th anniversary, the Indian Government has begun restoration work at the fateful site and Britain finally expressed their regret over the suffering caused by the massacre. The film takes us to the site of the baseless, brutal killings.

It also includes narratives from the descendants of the martyrs who have kept the stories over the generations. Artists, authors, and historians revisit the tragedy through their art, writing and research.
