Against the backdrop of the global rise in the farmers’ movement, comes the documentary “Déjà vu”. The documentary began in 2021. Barely two months since the launch of the farm laws in India to promote market reforms.
In the middle of Covid and a frigid American winter, four Indians were on a ten-thousand-kilometer drive through the farming heartland of America. Because, as it turns out, four decades ago, similar market reforms were ushered in in America. A more classic case of “back to the future” perhaps could not be found.
How did the reforms turn out? Who benefitted? Who lost out? Is it the farmers, the consumers, or the corporates? What impact did the loss of MSP or ushering in of contract farming have on farmers?
Through personal experiences and human stories of small farmers in America, Deja Vu is a chronicle of a four-decade-long history of a much-trumpeted elixir – and a cautionary tale for India.
Déjà Vu is the confluence where past meets future.
