The 3000 Km long Indo Pak border has one major checkpoint - Wagah. Positioned along the road connecting Lahore (Pakistan) and Amritsar (India), this checkpoint is a big tourist attraction for both Indians and Pakistanis. Everyday, at 4pm, a crowd gathers to watch the spectacle of the lowering of flags at sundown. The border security forces put up a grand show to the loud cheering from the crowd.
wagah, the documentary film by Supriyo Sen, captures this spectacle from the perspective of three children living near the border.
