The Massacre That Shook the Empire

Presented by The Times journalist, Sathnam Sanghera, this film reveals the savage cruelty of the British strategy during the Amritsar massacre in 1919. Hundreds of Indian men, women and children were shot and killed at the Jallianwala Bagh park by troops under British command. On a personal journey to educate himself about the event, Sanghera turns the pages of history through the testimonies of people there on the day, carefully preserved by various Indian historical organisations, interwoven with footage of the park today, interviews with expert historians and Sanghera's emotional meetings with descendants of victims.
