SANTOSH
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.
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.
