Raat: Night Time In Small Town India encapsulates the experiences and events of the night in Uttar Pradesh, Rajasthan and Jharkhand. Men and women from the three states set forth, armed with a camera to witness and record small-town India at night. What does one really see at night?
"More than arriving at a film, for us, Raat was a process of understanding and internalizing that time, and the act of claiming it for oneself, is a political act. Negotiating our realities within the everyday, is a political act.” – The Third Eye
