The Wire’s editor Seema Chishti breaks down the attacks on Christians across India in the run up to Christmas this year, the violent protests in Bangladesh and the lynching of garment worker Dipu Das, and the films that weren’t screened at the International Film Festival of Kerala. Seema’s recommendation: First church in India in Kodangalloor, Kerala 52 AD, and in Agra – ‘Akbar’s church’. As you watch these old churches, hear this. Jahnavi’s recommendation: The Group by Mary McCarthy.
