A disputed land between India and Pakistan since 1947, Kashmir is today one of the most militarized zones in the world. The systematic violation of human rights perpetrated by Indian security forces has filled the hearts of Kashmiri men and women with disillusionment, resentment and sorrow. It is a collective grief pushing towards peculiar religious practices, in a desperate search for respite: the veneration of those who sacrificed their lives for the pursuit of Azadi becomes the prosecution of the popular cult of dead Sufi saints. Monsoons never cross the mountains is a visual journey through the struggle of the Kashmiri people, trapped in an endless season of sorrow while waiting for the spring of Azadi. Foam Talent 2020.
