Not Waving, But Drowning is a haunting documentary that immerses us in the stark reality faced by Indian refugees in Belgium. The film's atmosphere is heavy, almost suffocating, as it captures the eerie stillness of the harbor and the ocean's relentless presence. Pacing feels deliberately slow, mirroring the endless waiting and uncertainty these individuals endure. There's a rawness to the performances, conveying more than words ever could. The way it distorts time and space makes the viewer experience a kind of disorientation, which is both unsettling and thought-provoking. This film doesn’t rely on flashy techniques, but instead, its power lies in the stark, emotional truth it presents.
