Chalo Hamara Des - Film Screening September 4, 2009

Chalo Hamara Des: Journeys with Kabir & Friends - Film (2008). Film by Shabnam Virmani who will introduce the screening and lead a discussion following with Prahlad Tipanya, Linda Hess, and Vidya Rao. A journey in search of the des (country) invoked in the poetry of Kabir. The film interweaves the stories of two people from very different countries, Prahlad Tipanya and North American scholar, Linda Hess. Where is Kabirs country? The answer is elusive, as we journey through song and poem into these two lives, brought together in an unlikely friendship by the cross-cultural resonance of Kabir. As part of Festival of Kabir in Film and Song.
