Film screening of “Hum Bhi Akele Tum Bhi Akele” (“I am alone, so are you”) & Q&A discussion with Bollywood actor Anshuman Jha – Tuesday, September 24 | 5:00 pm | ZSR Library Auditorium (Room 404)
This is the first film to take up an LGBTQ theme after India’s Supreme Court overturned colonial era law criminalizing same-sex relationship in 2018.
