Earth

Last night I watched Earth.  It is about the split between Pakistan and India and the violence that followed.  The plot centers around a group of friends from different religion as seen from a young girl's perspective.

Although this is a Bollywood production, it really doesn't feel like it.  There were a couple of songs, but not really that many.  It was also very violent with some pretty disturbing pictures and descriptions.  I think it does a good job of showing what hate and prejudice against another group can lead you to do to your friends.

I would recommend this movie to people who are interested in Indian/Pakistani history or who want to be informed about genocide in our society today.  However if violent imagery affects you strongly, I would skip this movie.

IMDB:  Earth was banned in Pakistan and censored in India, which is a shame because this tragedy really happened in both countries by both sides.
