ABOUT THE FILM: Nearly two lakh farmers have committed suicide in
India over the last 10 years. But the mainstream media hardly reflects
this. Nero´s Guests is a story about India?s agrarian crisis and the
growing inequality seen through the work of the Rural Affairs Editor
of Hindu newspaper, P Sainath. Through sustained coverage of the farm
crisis, Sainath and his colleagues created the national agenda,
compelling a government in denial to take notice and act. Through his
writings and lectures, Sainath makes us confront the India we don?t
want to see, and provokes us to think about who ?Nero?s Guests? are in
today?s world.
ABOUT P SAINATH:The Ramon Magsaysay award-winning development and
rural reporter, Palagummi Sainath, is India’s foremost chronicler of
the impact of globalization on the country’s rural populations.
Described by the Nobel Prize-winner, Amartya Sen as “one of the
world’s greatest experts on famine and hunger,” P. Sainath has worked
tirelessly to expose the devastation inflicted on rural farmers and
the broader population by the so-called economic reforms. He is author
of the best seller, “Everybody Loves a Good Drought: Stories from
India’s Poorest Districts”, a book credited with significant impact on
drought management, medical and development programs in rural India.
He is currently working as the rural affairs editor of The Hindu.
