On the night of February 23, 1991, the women of Kunnan Pushpora, a village in Indian-administered Kashmir, became victims of a mass rape at the hands of Indian security forces. “When the Storm Came,” a recent prizewinner in short filmmaking at the Sundance Film Festival, tells the story of the victims and examines the impact that this brutal event continues to have on the community more than a decade later.

Filmmaker Shilpi Gupta, a U.C. Berkeley graduate student in Journalism and International Studies, will be joined by international human rights attorney Syed Mujtaba Hussain and Kashmiri journalist Muzamil Jaleel in a post-film discussion of the conflict in Kashmir, human rights, and rape as a weapon of war.
