Multiculturalism is the essence of a city. Mumbai, the melting pot of India's varied cultures has attracted people from all parts of India. The desire to achieve something in life and the desire to succeed brings people to this city. Feuds instigated by certain factions banking on narrow regionalism and people's sentiments have led to conflicts between the local Maharashtrians and the 'outsiders'.
This film is an attempt to understand the dreams and aspirations of people who had come from different parts of India to make Mumbai their home and how they deal with the recent regional politics of hate and enmity towards the so called outsiders.

Crying Shame
The 21st April, 2010 Mirchpur burnings of Dalit houses and the setting ablaze of a father and his physically challenged daughter over a drunken brawl shows the Jat communitys' intensely rooted contempt for the lower castes which has led to the deepening of caste divisions in Haryana society. What we have to think is that whether this was a village brawl gone too far or a brazen display of power by the upper castes to intimidate the lower castes?
Based on the testimonies of the victims, the film proposes to show the destruction caused by the Jat violence both in terms of material and human life. The film brings to its audience an authentic account of the Mirchpur incident and its aftermath.

Sanvidhan
The alrming rate at which the fundamental rights of the ordinary people of India are getting eroded in the recent past is astounding, not only for the enthusiasts of the Constitution of India but also for those who have been critical of it.
The film 'Sanvidhan' portrays the continuous attacks on places of worship, the process of dispossession of a large number of people from their livelihood in the name of endless excuses . It brings out the barriers on the right to freedom of speech and expression based on caste, creed, region and religion by the state itself.

Series of Lectures on Cultural Heritage
The prominent facet of the heritage of a nation is its culture which finds its expression in both the visible and invisible elements.
Different civilizations grow and develop by borrowing from each other which makes a culture dynamic in nature and that is how a nation constantly reinvents itself.
ANHAD organized a series of lectures on various aspects of our cultural heritage because it feels that the best way to fight is to accept what will enrich our lives and discard all that creates bigotry towards each other.

Say No to Violence
'Say No To Violence' is an attempt to condemn violence of all kinds. This film depicts that religion alone is not responsible for this savagery and hatred around us.
We have tried to bring together voices, international and Indian talking about how only innocent lives are lost through ferocity. It is only peace that can make a difference and create a better world.
