Tamil Nadu protest documentary to be released on Sunday

'Arappor', a documentary on the mass protests that swept across Tamil Nadu earlier this year, is set to be released in Chennai on Sunday the 28th of July.

Tamil Guardian will be tweeting live from the event. You can follow all the action live from our Twitter account here.

The event is set to start at 12:00 BST.

The documetary, set for international release, aims to capture the story behind the protests which started as a hunger strike by students at Loyola College, and went on to engulf the whole state. Dozens of colleges remained shut, as thousands of protestors including from the South Indian film industry, took to the streets demanding an international investigation into the crime of genocide and an internationally monitored referendum  for a separate state.
