The Scene of the Crime

Amar Kanwar has been filming the resistance of local communities in the state of Orissa, to the industrial interventions taking place since 1999. In 2010, he returned again to Orissa but this time to film, in particular, the terrain of this devastating conflict. Almost every image in this film lies within specific territories that are proposed industrial sites and are in the process of being acquired by government and corporations in Orissa. In this "war by the state against its own land and people" The Scene of the Crime is an experience of the battleground and the personal lives that exist within a natural landscape.
