Somnath Waghamare
Documentary filmmaker and TISS research scholar Somnath Waghamare, who
recently made *The Battle of Bhima Koregaon: An Unending Journey,* is
making his next film on the lives of Dr Gail Omvedt and Dr Bharat Patankar.
Titled *Gail and Bharat The Story of Organic Intellectuals*, the film sheds
light on the two prominent anti-caste activists and intellectuals who have
spent their lifetime fighting oppressive caste structures.
Dr Gail is an American-born Indian scholar, sociologist and human rights
activist. She has published several books and research papers on anti-caste
and women's movements in India, as well as Dalit-Bahujan politics. She has
also lent her voice to environmental and farmer movements.
Watch:
Dr Bharat, who is married to Gail, is the co-founder and president of the
Shramik Mukti Dal, an organisation which fights for the rights of farmers
and Dalit-Bahujans. He is also one of the leaders of Maharashtra's peasant
movement.
Somnath's documentary follows Gail's journey to India, how she met Bharat,
and became one of the torchbearers of movements which are largely ignored
by the mainstream media in the country. The biopic also looks closely at
the work of Bharat and his contributions.
The film has interviews and personal testimonies which capture the lives of
this remarkable couple who live in a small village in Maharashtra.
Somnath, who has traveled with the couple extensively, is looking at
crowd-funding to complete his film. He estimates the tentative cost to be
Rs 3 lakh. His previous documentary on the violence unleashed against
Dalit-Bahujans in Bhima-Koregaon was also crowd-funded.
