Invisible Demons, dir. Rahul Jain, India / Finland / Germany 2021, 70 min., English & Hindi with English subtitles
In his second documentary, filmmaker Rahul Jain (Machines, FRAMES
of REPRESENTATION 2016) takes a hard-hitting look at life in the Indian
capital – the city he calls home – which teeters on the precipice of an
environmental catastrophe due to unregulated industrialisation.
Acknowledging
his own wealth and privilege – he refers to himself an ‘air-conditioned
child’ – Jain focuses on the impact of unchecked industry and climate
change on the poor. With no power and little recourse but to remain
stoic and carry on with their lives, even though their immediate
survival is under threat, millions face a situation that, as Jain’s film
points out, will only worsen.
Observing
rivers turning to foam and hills that appear to be made of garbage,
Invisible Demons is a chilling reminder of the need to act today.
