Inalco's South Asia and Himalayas department and CESSMA (India/Nepal group) are organizing a series of film and documentary events to shed light on current events in the region and its diasporas through images and debate. Specialists will discuss topics as varied as the migration path of the Bangladeshis, agro-ecology in India, the struggle for survival in rural India, and learning about democracy in Bhutan. The free screenings are open to all, with no need to book, and there will be plenty of opportunity for discussion afterwards.
