| Summary: | How did Hindu nationalist politics find a foothold in West Bengal after three decades of Communist Party rule? Using fresh and archival footage with personal family history, 'A bid for Bengal' lays bare historical fault lines and visits the workings of frontal organizations in the Hindu nationalist network behind the recent political shift in West Bengal, in between witnessing two consecutive election trails from 2019 to 2021. As resistance takes shape, one arrives at the immediate present marred with anxiety, yeet not bereft of hope.
