Is it possible to speak to someone who has been dead for nearly seventy years, yet has always felt like family?
In present-day London, a filmmaker traces the legacy of Dr B. R. Ambedkar through his mother’s intercaste marriage, uncovering how caste persists across generations, intimate relationships and family memory. Through conversations with his mother about her intercaste marriage and the estrangement that followed, the filmmaker searches for a language of love within social structures that continue to enforce hierarchy. Grounded in family memory and the London spaces Ambedkar once inhabited, the film traces how the past remains active in the present.
About the director:
Panchsheel Gaikwad is a documentary filmmaker and artist from Pune, India, now based in London. His practice explores migration and intergenerational memory. Drawing on family histories and Ambedkarite legacies, his films move between the personal and the political to explore how the past remains active in the present. His work includes ongoing engagement with Marathi Ambedkarite literature and visual culture, focused on digitisation and circulation as ways of keeping political memory alive.
