Great Indian School Show
February 25th, 2006
From Infochange:
A film on the role of surveillance cameras in a school in India. The film is called the Great Indian School Show. Here is a short quote from a description of the film:
The Mahatma Gandhi Centennial Sindhu High School in Nagpur is like no other. Here, 185 close circuit television cameras keep a hawk’s watch on what’s going on in every classroom, staff room, canteen and playground. The cameras are constantly monitored by the principal. It would seem more like a prison, and Pune-based filmmaker Avinash Deshpande shows how the surveillance affects the psyche of both the students and the teachers.
