It’s the late 1970s, post-Emergency Delhi. The police are trying to help a lost child. But the only thing she is able to tell them is that the family’s pet is a blind rabbit. Delhi-based contemporary video artist Pallavi Paul got the working title for her second documentary on the Emergency, The Blind Rabbit, from this tale narrated by a retired policewoman. The documentary is based on the life of Delhi’s policewomen during that period.
