Directed by: Sridhar Rangayan
Genres: Drama
Starring: Joy Sengupta, Mouli Ganguly, Jayati Bhatia

Tagline: Marked by Pain, Bound by Hope
Overview: Coming from a country like India that is still in denial, where being HIV+ is still a curse, '68 Pages' rips open the underbelly of its society to reveal how it stigmatizes and shuns those who are HIV+ or even those who just want to be what they are. Through 68 Pages of a counselors diary, we see the stories of Paayal, a sex worker; Nishit, an ID user; Kiran, a gay man and Umrao, a transsexual bar dancer - their stories of pain and fear, humiliation and rejection - not only by the society, but even by their loved ones.
