Time:3-5 p.m.
Description:The new documentary "Nero's Guests: The Age of Inequality" (dir. Deepa Bhatia), tells the story of India's agrarian crisis and growing worldwide inequality as seen through the work of award-winning journalist P. Sainath. For the past decade, Sainath has been reporting on the epidemic of farmer suicides in India as a result of the collapse of the rural economy. His hard-hitting reporting for the "Hindu" newspaper has forced other journalists to cover the story and government officials to act.
