If you are free I highly recommend going to see this documentary. Sarah Singh shares valuable insight on the historical, cultural and political turmoil that exists between India and Pakistan. Really interesting!

New York Film-Maker Sarah Singh will be coming in person to Chapel Hill to speak about her award-winning documentary on the 1947 Partition of India and the creation of Pakistan: “THE SKY BELOW.” Followed by a screening of the film and a question and answer session. To create the documentary THE SKY BELOW, Sarah Singh traveled solo--without a crew-- across one of the world’s most volatile regions tracing culture, history, society and the politics of divide and rule.

THE SKY BELOW is a contemporary exploration of the creation of Pakistan and the 1947 Partition of the Indian Subcontinent, weaving together 5000 years of culture, while investigating the lingering after-effects of this six-decade old political divide, most tragically witnessed by Kashmir. With her life in the hands of strangers and sometimes gunmen, Singh traveled from the desert of Kutch to the snowy mountains of Kashmir; and from the seaside city of Karachi to the spare but volatile terrain of the Khyber Pass.
