Invisible Demons Documentary Exposes Climate Change In India [EXCLUSIVE CLIP]

screen frenzy is exclusively allowed to present a clip from the award-winning documentary on climate change Invisible Demons, which is currently streaming on MUBI. Filmmaker Rahul Jain (Machinery) heads the exposé, which already premiered at the Cannes Film Festival 2021. The new documentary focuses on Delhi and examines how India’s growing economy has adversely affected the environment. Given that some of the largest countries in the world deny, or at least refuse to acknowledge, climate change, Jain’s breathtaking cinematography is meant to open the eyes of society.

In its tight 70 minute runtime, Invisible Demons takes the public on a tour of present-day Delhi, complete with vivid images and personal stories from the residents. Produced by Iikka Vehkalahti and Heino Deckert and executive produced by the contestant’s Jeff Skoll and Diane Weyermann, along with Frank Lehmann, the topical documentary attempts to engage viewers in an ongoing debate. Whether modernity is worth sacrificing our planet’s environment, people everywhere deserve access to clean air and water, raising the question of how technology and nature can coexist.

However, the current generation has never seen the river its true bright color due to the bad pollution.
