Untouchable: Laughing Out Caste w/ Directors Q&A
Internationally acclaimed comedian Manjeet Sarkar has captivated audiences for seven years with his bold humour. Known for his solo show Untouchable, he has completed five national tours across India, performed at the United Nations, and is now on a world tour. As the first comedian from the Dalit community to achieve widespread recognition, Manjeet has broken through centuries of caste oppression with his work.
Untouchable: Laughing Out Caste marks Manjeet’s debut as a documentary filmmaker, following his journey across India and beyond. The film provides a unique perspective on caste, class, and the contrasts between rural and urban life in India, shedding light on the shared struggles of marginalized communities and the transformative power of art.
Following the screening, a moderated discussion and Q&A session with co-directors Manjeet and Mike will offer further insights into the film’s themes.
