Action India is a group working in the resettlement colonies of Delhi since 1975. In the two decades it has seen numerous upheavals, both political and social, that have continuously posed challenges in their struggle to build a just society.
Some of these challenges Action India confronted, while many have changed forms and taken overwhelming dimensions.
The film presents Action India’s history, experience and perspective on a few issues that are central to this struggle. The film also weaves together the personal stories of four women who have been with Action India for most of the time, their experiences, collective efforts, inner struggles, failures and successes.
A Journey Together received the Second Prize for the “Over 40 Minutes” category at the New Delhi Video Festival, 1999.
