Using found footage in 1965 Cuban Documentary Film Maker Santiago Alvarez made a short film called "Now!!!" using the song of the colored singer Lena Horne, which was banned in United States of America. The song made a powerful call for Constitutional and peaceful protests against apartheid. 'India Now !!!' replicates the spirit, using the same song  to make a call for action - peaceful and under the Constitution - against he growing ultra right in India 

This film was conceived and edited during the covid lock down period, where not much shooting was happening. Under fair use policy, images and footage that social media threw up during this period were used for the film. One one corner of the film runs the original film of Santiago Alvarez and in the other exists the cover of the Constitution of India.
