What is that you can see at night? What is allowed, what is not? What do you become a witness to?
Camera in hand, some women and men from Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand venture out to record the experience of nights in small town India. Who is watching and who is being watched? Are nights crafted in silence? Is there still movement, labour that is invisibilised? Who has access to the night? Who hides inside?
The film is born out of a pedagogical collaboration between The Third Eye's Learning Lab and its Digital Educators who belong to peri-urban and rural contexts across Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand.

In Greek prisons, thousands of refugees and migrants are convicted as traffickers. The internationally acclaimed rescuer Jason Apostolopoulos tries to save three innocent refugees. The first has been sentenced to 142 years in prison and the other two to 50. In a Courtroom drama that lasts over a year, will Jason and his comrades manage to free them?
