Set in the aftermath of the world’s largest farmers’ protest in India, Jamhuriyat explores what democracy looks like for those long excluded from political power. Moving between protest sites and moments of everyday life, the film follows a community whose participation in the movement sparks a deep political awakening. Beyond mass rallies and slogans, it is in the intimacy of shared fire pits; through stories, songs, and conversation, that a collective voice emerges from the ground up. After a historic victory, the farmers return home with new questions about what democracy means beyond protest. As local elections approach, they confront how lasting change is carried into daily life. Weaving personal reflection with collective experience, Jamhuriyat sees democracy as a lived practice; one that can be forged from below, and reshaped by those long kept at its margins.
