We are a Bangalore-based group that
produces and distributes issue-based documentaries and feature films.
We believe that films are an important
medium of communication that can inspire and unite people across
the world. Films can be used to create and perpetuate myths or,
alternatively, to break myths and reaffirm the struggles of the
marginalized and dispossessed.
Visual Search promotes films that tell
the stories of people's daily struggles against forces that rob
them of the right to live with dignity; stories that connect human
beings to water, earth, forests, indeed, the entire web of life.
Our films cover a range of issues:
nuclear energy, the privatization of water resources, struggles
against bauxite mining and large dams, violence against women in
India, the great drug and pharmaceutical robberies committed in
the name of medicine, struggles of fisherpeople, the extraordinary
village of Kokkrebellur in southern India where migratory birds
flock...
Our current production is a newly released
music video, America, America!
that cocks a snook at the great American empire and exposes the
American war machine for what it is - global terrorism.
We are also promoting the Hindi feature
film "Ek Alag Mausam",
which looks at the grave problem of HIV/AIDS through the eyes of
the community of HIV/AIDS survivors. This film has been made by
KP Sasi who is part of the Visual Search team.
