Department of Journalism, Delhi College of Arts and Commerce, Delhi University presents a film screening in collaboration with Public Service Broadcasting Trust (PSBT)- The Death of Us by Vani Subramanian. The Death of Us is a quiet contemplation on a range of cases in which the death penalty was pronounced, ending in execution, commutation to life sentence, acquittal or even pardon. Speaking only to those who have been on death row or those very closely involved with the cases, we engage in complex conversations on crime and punishment, revenge and justice, popular rhetoric and personal experiences. Only to find ourselves confronting larger ethical and moral questions across time and space.

A feminist activist and documentary filmmaker, Vani Subramanian started her career in advertising in Delhi. Known for films such as Meals Ready (1996), New, Improved Delhi (2002) and Ayodhya Gatha (2006), her work explores the connections between our everyday practices and larger political questions.

Film Duration: 76 minutes
