A government scheme sees newly widowed Santosh inherit her late husband’s job as a police constable in the rural badlands of Northern India, as her only entitlement to financial support. When a low-caste Dalit girl is found dead, Santosh is pulled into the investigation and into the brutality of the law enforcement system of which she is now a part.

A compelling and powerful thriller exploring casteism, corruption and misogyny in the Indian police force from British-Indian first time feature director Sandhya Suri, with its lead character complexly written and performed.

Join us for this screening including an introduction from our Head of Audience Engagement, Aashna Thakkar.

SANTOSH is set to reach UK cinemas on 21 March 2025.
