Mara Ahmed's A THIN WALL is akin to a beautiful and powerful book of essays: many voices sharing poetic, personal, and political stories and viewpoints, woven together to convey a universal aching. It is a textural and tangible journey that captures a profound sense of loss for more than one generation. May we all embrace the lessons this film has to offer. [Linda Moroney, Director of Greentopia Film, NY] A THIN WALL is a documentary about memory, history and the possibility of reconciliation. It focuses on the Partition of India in 1947, but derives lessons that remain urgently relevant today. As colonial empires began to crumble in the 20th century, lines were drawn across maps all over the world and new nation-states were founded. The Partition of India is one of the most important and violent historical templates for understanding questions of imperialism, border formation, nationalism, and the making of refugees. Shot on both sides of the border, in India and Pakistan, A THIN WALL is a personal take on Partition rooted in stories passed down from one generation to another. It is written and directed by Mara Ahmed and co-produced by Surbhi Dewan. Both filmmakers are descendants of families torn apart by Partition. The film is also a work of art infused with original animation by Gayane Bagdasaryan (Moscow), music by Sunny Zaman and beautiful literary writing.
