Partition is a film by award-winning director Ken McMullen.[1] The film is set in the turmoil surrounding the transfer of political power in British India from British to Indian hands and the Partition of the Indian subcontinent into the Dominion of Pakistan and the Republic of India in 1947. Made in 1987, the film was released on DVD in 2007. Its screening has been voted Time Out Critics' choice No 1 after 20 years.[2][3]

Plot

Lunatics in an asylum see the horror of India's partition with a lucidity that seems to escape the seemingly sane political players directing it on the outside.
