Screenwriter/ Producer: Satyajit Ray

An astonishing masterwork of feeling and texture, Satyajit Ray’s Pather Panchali (the first installment of The Apu Trilogy) is one of the most powerful and beautiful films of all time. Young Apu is the son of an impoverished priest and grows up with his beloved older sister, relishing the simple pleasures of their rural life – until tragedy strikes his family, the loss altering his young life forever. Tender, exquisite, and heartbreaking, this lush tapestry of stunning black and white cinematography, realistic family dynamics, and a magnificent soundtrack from Ravi Shankar will leave you forever changed.
