Massacre in a Holy City
Synopsis
A first of its kind documentary exploring the events that lead to the Jallianwala Bagh Massacre, also known as the Amritsar Massacre of 1919.
Presented by Kuldip Singh Sahota, we explore what really happened on that fateful day of April 13th 1919 in the heart of the Punjab, Amritsar. With the help of author of 'Garden of Bullets' Saurav Dutt, author of 'The Butcher of Amritsar' Nigel Collett, Dr Harish Puri and Dr Stephen Badsey, the events that lead up to the massacre are contextualised.
The massacre itself caused the deaths of up to 1000 innocent Indian men, women and children.
After the massacre a strict curfew was imposed on the city, thus stopping dead and the dying receiving any medical help. Then immediately a martial law was declared which further punished the local population with crawling and flogging orders.
