An Indian filmmaker returns to his homeland during the national elections. With voting spread over a period of six long weeks, he starts travelling the country, turning the camera towards his family. A bittersweet and often disturbing tale about democracy.

Arjun Jr. Nama Filmcollective

Arjun Jr. Nama Filmcollective - the narrator won’t reveal his name (in the credits it is given as Arjun Jr) or very much about the Nama Filmcollective, which was founded in 2019 as a collaboration between Indian and European artists. The situation for filmmakers and journalists in India has become increasingly difficult in the last years. and was founded a film collective for this very reason, offering not only privacy and safety for the filmmakers involved, but also reflecting the collaborative spirit in which we like to work. "Don't Worry About India“ is the first film made by Nama Filmcollective and we want to continue working in this way, collaborating with artists who want to express their stories within the safe space of a group. Arjun Jr. is a filmmaker and musician from Mumbai, India.
