An Insignificant Man

Portrait of politician Arvind Kejriwal, 'The Bernie Sanders of India', filmed over an eventful year as he seeks to disrupt Indian politics.

"Fed up with the blatant corruption he encountered daily, former bureaucrat Kejriwal took the extraordinary step of forming a new political movement, the Common Man's Party (AAP) in 2012. In a country where two parties held sway, this radical upstart seemed unlikely to shake the status quo – but there are no guarantees in politics these days. The directors follow the AAP leader on his grass-roots campaign trail, filming rallies, party meetings and an eventual hunger strike. It's a rollercoaster ride with rival politicians and media spinning the truth every which way." (Sydney Film Festival)
