Farhad Mustafa und Deepti Kakkar's POWERLESS has received the main prize of the national competition at this year's Mumbai Film Festival. It was the first time a documentary was included in the section and thus the first time a documentary received this important prize.
POWERLESS, which premiered in this year's Forum program, is about the electrical supply in an Indian city, the story unfurling along the tangled wires and tracing out lines of conflict of a diabolical complexity in the process.
