An Artist's Colony Disappears in India

The Leonard Lopate Show | Aug 31, 2015

Adam Weber and Jimmy Goldblum directed the documentary "Tomorrow We Disappear." It chronicles the last days of Kathputli, the mysterious hand–built artist colony, which is now being threatened by destruction. Hidden in the alleyways of New Delhi, a vivacious community of magicians, acrobats and puppeteers are living each day under their looming eviction to make way for a modern skyscraper. The film came out on VOD on August 25.
