An Insignificant Man

It is one of a kind documentary to come out of India.

It highlights many challenges which have been existing in our society when we talk about dissent. It sharply focuses on the fundamental struggle for a citizen's right and the illustrates ways to achieve it.

It's incredibly humorous, enlightening, inspiring and intimidating.

Three cheers to the filmmakers for their courageous effort to tell this story with seamless fear.

I'd suggest the makers to put up this film on Cineoo or other popular platforms with 'View and Donate' option, like Anand Gandhi did for The Ship of Theseus. The more Indians view it, the more they they become aware.

Definitely a must see documentary which is very different that other documentaries in the way it is created and presented. All this contains is the clips of (home) videos taken during the first few years of Arvind Kejriwal's rise to power. But this is powerful enough to make you emotional.

I was forced to tag along with by my friend for a preview and assumed that this will be some boring story glorifying the struggle of this party and leader. how wrong was I!!

Some good aspects of the documentary- First, It is not boring, even when you know everything that is going to happen it feels thrilling because you see the same events from the inside perspective. Duration is very short and hence extremely fast paced. Second, Kejriwal is not the star here, the story itself is the main character. Yogendra Yadav has almost equal impact as Kejriwal. The poster is misleading, I think they made it to attract more people. Third, - There is no glorification, like we see in our news channels - Saviour of common man, Anti-corruption king etc. Every character will feel like an ordinary person.

Some unique aspects of this documentary

• ZERO VOICE OVERS This is perhaps the only documentary I have seen which has no voice overs. There is no narrative voice which explains the events being shown or about to be shown.

• ZERO INTERVIEWS, the photographer is always on 'observational mode' i.e. nobody actually sees in the camera lens and answers something asked by the director. In many documentaries like Sachin's we have his colleagues, relatives, commentators sitting in front of camera and recalling some stories; In this one there is nothing like that. Everybody is going about there own business as if they are not being filmed.

• LEVEL OF ACCESS is unprecedented there are a lot of scenes upon which one might think how did the camera get there? One example is - Scene of Election commission's counting center, we have 100 channels in our nation but till date nobody has shown what happens inside a vote counting center. This is the reason, despite knowing the result of election, viewer will feel thrilled when in ECI office a print out comes with the live tally of seats.

• COMEDY. Yes there are some comical moments when you see the personalities in complete unrehearsed demeanor. e.g Yogendra Yadav being nervous or Kejriwal laughing uncontrollably

Some other things to know, this is not story of 2015 election, they have only shot till Dec 2013 when results were announced. There is nothing about Kejriwal's role as CM, resignation etc.

So catch this riveting and unconventional piece of cinema while you can, I am sure that this kind of movie will never be made again. Even AAP themselves will not give such an access to anyone now. In an interview the directors said that when they went to AAP in Oct 2012 there was no media house covering AAP. So the party was happy to have anybody who wanted to film them.

A Must watch for all age groups! Especially the youth of India.

This movie got standing ovation at all screens abroad.

All credit goes to the director who persisted all odds to present this movie.

There were innumerable hurdles thrown by vested interests who manipulate the system.

Nice narrative which show what can be done when common men and women unite to create a new political system free of corruption.

Im sure this movie ruffles some feathers for the established political parties.

Appreciate Supreme court to refuse to ban this movie.

Its high time Indian public start working towards eradicating corruption!

I felt very sentimental when i saw everything which i followed in my everyday life right from anti corruption movement by AK and about about this honest party men. Appleseed and thanks to director..you can see other parties who criticized him and how the people supported him .. climax is really goosebumps . must watch movie. this is my first review for any movies in my lifetime.
