Summary: In India, the cow has gained prominence as a sacred animal after a Hindutva party came into power. Violence against Dalits and Muslims-traditional consumers of beef-has also increased proportionally. In July 2016, four Dalit men were attacked for doing their caste-based job-skinning a dead cow. The episode was recorded by the perpetrators and went viral on WhatsApp. The incident shocked civil society into action, prompting them to undertake a protest march across 400 kilometers to the original site of violence. The film enters the journey of the protesters and gives an immersive account of the felt injustice and visceral energy of a protest march.
