Papilio Buddha is one of the most controversial films at the Festival. It was banned in India for its scenes of violence, and for its scathing critique of Gandhi’s legacy. It is set among a community of Dalits, regarded as ‘untouchables’ in India, where they face caste oppression, discrimination and displacement.
