Forest fire Running for just over 80 minutes, it is Agitpar Singh’s debut film. The film, which premiered at the 2021 Sundance Film Festival, centers on a family living in a remote Himalayan village. On the radio there is a constant stream of news about how this government has done great things that previous governments could not.
