Sakhya Film Club

The Sakhya film club organizes screenings of powerful documentaries from India and the wider South Asian region. The documentaries serve as a starting point for meaningful conversations about South Asian issues among the wider community in Cambridge. Screenings are held fortnightly on Tuesdays during term time, usually in the TV Room at Darwin College. Screenings are followed by a short discussion which usually continues in the Darwin bar afterwards.
