A special screening of the documentary 'Deja Vu' took place at the Kolkata International Film Festival, highlighting the struggles of small farmers in the United States against corporate dominance and drawing parallels with recent farm protests in India. Directed by Bedabrata Pain, the film follows a journey across the American agricultural heartland, showcasing how market reforms have adversely affected small farmers while benefiting large corporations. Pain connected these themes to the recent mayoral win of Zohran Mamdani in New York, noting Mamdani's focus on economic justice and affordability for working people. The documentary and Mamdani's campaign both underscore the impact of corporate power on the working class and the importance of questioning similar reforms being considered in India.
