Amita Parashar - LokVani: "The Wellesley College Association for South Asian cultures recently sponsored a four-day film festival inviting the community to view his films and hear him speak at an opening reception, and for an intimate lunch and culminating keynote address.
Arguably the most significant social/political documentary filmmaker in India, Patwardhan has opened the eyes of countless viewers to issues involving housing rights for the urban poor, for communal harmony, the environment, movements against the Narmada Dam and unsustainable development. Patwardhan�s most recent release, Jang aur Aman (War and Peace) involves nuclear testing in South Asia and has won critical acclaim around the world. "
