}}Raman (English: Travelogue of Invasion) is a 2008 Malayalam film written and directed by Dr. Biju.[1] A controversial and much debated-over socio-political film, it shows two variants of invasion by imperialist forces—of Iraq and Kerala. The film was an official selection for eight international film festivals including the prestigious Cairo International Film Festival.[2]

According to the director, the film "shows how economic, cultural and military invasion by the U.S. ends up annihilating third-world countries like India and Iraq."[3] George W. Bush has been described as a "political terrorist" in the film.[2]

Plot

Raman tells the story of Raman (Anoop Chandran), a village tea-shop assistant in Kerala and Diya Raman (Avantika Akerkar), wife of the US Defence Secretary. A media activist, she is trying to make a documentary about the adverse impact of American imperialism, worldwide. The film has two parallel tracks, one set in India shows how globalisation creates economic and cultural imbalances in developing nations, the other is about the US's violent invasion of Iraq.
