Father Son and the Holy War (1995) was voted in 2004 as one of the fifty most memorable documentaries of all time by DOX, the leading European film magazine specialising in the documentary genre. The film tackles the issue of whether the psychology of violence against “the other” common to religious fanaticism, in India too, might be linked to male insecurity and the incessant search for virility.

Duration: 120 minutes
