Beyond Hatred and Power, We Keep Singing

In the times of authoritarian, patriarchal interventions that stifle democratic voices, constitutional rights and personal freedom, this documentary is about the resistance of people through songs and lyrics. As eloquently put forth by Maya Angelou, these are ballads of those who raised their voices against the power-wielding forces who spread hatred and animosity. This film is a collage of non-hierarchical spaces that exist around us.
