Event Details : 'Cotton for My Shroud' documentary film screening about farmers' suicide in Vidharbha. 
Since 1995, a quarter of a million Indian farmers have committed suicide—the largest wave of recorded suicides in history. Most of these were cotton farmers from Vidarbha, for whom the escalating cost of seed, fertilizer and pesticide has made farming unsustainable.
