How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A sweeping, musical-inflected epic where a village's fight against colonial oppression unfolds through the surprising arena of cricket. It's both intimate and grandiose, a story about ordinary people discovering their power through unity, set against the vast landscapes and rigid hierarchies of the British Raj.
