Dear friends,
some of you know that I triggered the making of Panjab ’95. Here are director of film Honey Trehan’s words.
‘During the first wave of Covid [in 2020], I fell ill and was quarantined for 14 days. I started reading Amandeep Sandhu’s Panjab: Journeys Through Fault Lines, in which there is a chapter on the disappearances. Amandeep told me that I should make a film on the subject, especially since I am from Tarn Taran. He also knew Navkiran, Khalra’s daughter.
