About this Event
Host Organization: College of the Humanities: Religion
Join us for a screening of SANTHARA, an award-winning documentary by Shekhar Hattangadi, a Mumbai, India-based columnist, law professor, and film-maker. Hattangadi’s interest in the interface between secular law and religious ritual has resulted in a thought-provoking look at the sacred Jain end-of-life fasting ritual and its repercussions in Indian society. Lecture/discussion by Prof. Hattangadi to follow the screening.
