DESCRIPTION:Over the last decade in India, failing crops and insurmountable debt have 
 driven nearly 200,000 farmers to commit suicide.\n\nDirector Deepa Bhatia 
 uses the work of P Sainath, Rural Affairs Editor of The Hindu—one of 
 India’s leading progressive newspapers—to highlight this agrarian 
 crisis and the growing inequality in Indian society at large. Through 
 sustained coverage of the farm crisis, Sainath and his colleagues forced 
 the issue onto the collective national consciousness, and compelled a 
 government in denial to take notice and act. Sainath’s work makes us 
 confront the India we are reluctant to acknowledge, and provokes us to 
 think about who ‘Nero’s Guests’ are in today’s world.\n\n‘Nero's 
 Guests’ won the Indian Documentary Producers Association's Gold Medal for 
 best documentary and several other awards in and outside India.\n\nThe 
 event is a free event. \n\nFor more information about the event, email
