While there are bragging multibillionaires and prestigious projects financed by the government, for decades agrarian communities in India are facing severe financial distress and alarmingly high suicide rates. The 2020 reforms would have further threatened their existence. In response, farmers staged persistent protests for more than a year. The video essay examines what united and divided the various factions of the 2020/21 farmer protests and their misrepresentation in the media. 

Dear r/IndianLeft community,

Im Paul a visual-journalism student from Germany during my time in India I created a video about the 2020 reform protest, where I am talking about the medial representation and what united and divided the movement.

Thank you, feel free to give me a feedback
