2 million people have aphasia in the U.S, but very few people have ever heard of it. This is where this film comes into picture, dealing with a topic that seriously matters to society: if we take into account the relatives and friends of those who have aphasia, more than 20 million people in this country are affected by it. Also, there are no major documentaries about aphasia, and yet there is an urgent need of talking about it because lack of media coverage is one of the main reasons for the shortage of funding and research. Indeed, we strongly believe that a documentary is nowadays the perfect medium to raise this issue and to help society understand it from a human point of view.

Zindabad!
Paul-Antoine Lemaille, Guillermo F. Flórez
Mumbai wants to become a “world class city” However, half the population live in slums or on the streets in inhumane conditions. Then a battle for land begins between the authorities and Mumbai's poorest; a fight that has intensified since 2004 when the government conducted an unprecedented wave of demolitions. The poor organise themselves and demand their rights. Zindabad! Is the story of their struggle.
