Movie About Kashmir Under Fire for Downplaying Weapon That Blinds

An upcoming film called 'Chauhaan' has upset survivors in Kashmir after claiming pellet guns cause minimal harm. More than 1,000 people there have lost their sight since India started using these weapons in 2010. Feroz Aslam, blinded during protests, dared filmmakers to go blind themselves. The film raises a hard question: how should Indian cinema tell stories about security crackdowns in Kashmir?
