DESCRIPTION:A collaboration between Dr William Gould of the University of 
 Leeds and Dakxinkumar Bajrange of Nomad Movies\, who filmed and directed '
 Birth 1871'. The film explores the historical and current disenfranchiseme
 nt and exclusion of the 'denotified' (ex-’criminal’) tribes in India\,
  as well as focussing on their use of the arts in fighting for equality an
 d social change. It is a unique exploration into the continued impact of h
 istory on a group of people\, and uses oral histories and accounts to prov
 ide insight into the lives of people considered outside the mainstream of 
 society. More specifically\, the film examines the events surrounding inde
 pendence as these communities were released from settlements and as the Cr
 iminal Tribes Act was replaced with the Habitual Offenders Act in 1952.
