"Don't Call Me a Victim!" revolves around the life of Archana Guha, whose unique destiny has been the subject of continuous media attention for nearly twenty years in India, Europe, USA and Japan. Arrested on trumped-up political charges and tortured by the police, Archana survived the ordeal, but left paralysed in both legs. Archana's brother initiated a public campaign against the torturers, which the family was sucked into for more than 20 years. His pursuit of revenge became a way of life which took Archana hostage for a second time.
"Don't Call Me a Victim!" is a heartfelt documentary account of Archana's life. This is a political drama about torture as a means of combating terrorism, and about terrorism as a reaction to state terror. It is a human drama about survival, about how to hold on to your humanity when everything has been taken from you.
