Documentary Film - "The Legacy of Jagatseth:Marwaris of Bengal, ''-(Promo)

Описание: "The Legacy of Jagatseth:Marwaris of Bengal, Past and Present" -A documentary film on Jagat Seth and the Marwaris of Bengal ? Seems to be a rather remote possibility as it involves complete rewriting of a popular discourse on a misjudged man and a group of unappreciated people. But this rewriting is done beautifully in the documentary entitled, “ The Legacy of Jaga seth, Marwaris of Bengal, Past and Present ’’ .
In popular belief Jagat Seth is etched as a traitor who has sold his country to the British in the shadowy days of past. There has been almost no attempt in films or literature to review this notion. Now, comes a documentary, perhaps for the first time in the history of cinema that tries to present the truth about Jagat Seth. The film also follows the thrilling journey of the Marwari community from the early difficult days of migration to their great rise in business and industry in the present century. Directed by young filmmakers, Anjan Bhattacharya and Anirban Ghosh the film captures the grandeur of past and glory of the present. Rare for a documentary film from India The legacy of Jagat Seth is shot in wide ranging locations from the desert lands of Rajasthan to the narrow lanes of Burrabazar, from the royal palaces of Murshidabad to the jute mills of Chandannagar. Extensive research and lavish use of updated technology in matters of camera and editing makes the documentary a worthwhile experience.
