India 1947 Partition In Colour

On the 75th anniversary, newly colourised footage tells the personal rivalries between partition’s key players: Nehru, Jinnah and Lord Mountbatten – not to mention Nehru’s passionate affair with Lady Mountbatten. National tragedy escalates as almost a century of British Rule ends in weeks not years.

 ‘It will break your heart and fill it with anger as the film tears through the year leading up to one of the greatest catastrophes of the 20th century.’ ★★★★  THE GUARDIAN
