MIF Live | We Need to Talk About Power: Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy and David Olusoga | MIF Encounters

Created especially for MIF17, Sharmeen Obaid-Chinoy’s HOME1947 was a powerful and moving installation reflecting on the experiences of people who left their homes during the Partition of British India in 1947, the largest mass migration ever witnessed. Sharmeen, a two-time Academy Award-winning filmmaker from Pakistan, joined historian David Olusoga, the author of books such as Black and British: A Forgotten History, to talk about power, patriotism, imperialism and memory at Interdependence during the Festival – and you can revisit their fascinating and provocative conversation this Thursday in our latest lunchtime MIF Encounter.

Closed captions are available in the 'settings' icon on the video player.

Commissioned and produced by Manchester International Festival. In association with FutureEverything, The Guardian and VICE.
