MACHINES - BEST SINGLE DOCUMENTARY - INTERNATIONAL

https://dogwoof.com/machines Machines comes to UK cinemas on 19 May Moving through the corridors and bowels of an enormous and disorientating structure, the camera takes the viewer on a descent down to a dehumanized place of physical labor and intense hardship. This gigantic textile factory in Gujarat, India might just as well be the decorum for a 21st century Dante's Inferno.

Rahul Jain brings us into one of the thousands of textile mills in heavily industrialized Sachin, India.
