This hard-hitting documentary shines a light on a lesser known event of World War Two, the 1943 famine in Bengal, in which several million people starved to death.

Today, historians, blame the British Empire for the famine that took place when the subcontinent was under its rule.

Some historians allege that Winston Churchill was accountable for the famine. It has been referred to as a crime against humanity. The film gives a voice to historians, researchers and survivors, who were witness to these tragic event

Followed by a discussion with special guests. (TBC)
