Pedestrian Pictures, a Bengaluru-based media activist organisation, has produced Our Gauri, a documentary on writer-journalist-activist Gauri Lankesh who was shot dead on September 5.
The 67-minute documentary by Pradeep K.P. (popularly known as Deepu) will be screened in the city on Saturday.
Mr. Pradeep calls the film “more than a personal tribute that follows follows her political journey, envisaging what she stood for and her struggle for communal harmony until her last breath.” Her life story, he said, “has become the history of Karnataka’s fight against right-wing communal forces.”
Forum Against Assassination of Gauri Lankesh, Department of Communication, St. Joseph’s College, and Pedestrian Pictures and Alternative Law Forum have jointly arranged screening of Our Gauri on Saturday at Xavier Hall, St. Joseph’s College of Arts and Science, Langford Road, Shanti Nagar.
Recalling his association with Gauri, the film maker told that he first met Gauri during the protest against “saffronisation of Bababudangiri’s Sufi Shrine.” He had footages involving Gauri over 16 years. “With the help of those footages and through the memories of those closely associated with Gauri, I created Our Gauri ,” said Deepu.
