Satyajit Ray·1955·Bengali
A young boy Apu grows up in a rural Bengal village with his sister Durga and struggling parents. Satyajit Ray's debut that put Indian cinema on the world map.
Satyajit Ray had never directed a frame when he began Pather Panchali in 1952. Over three years, shooting on weekends when funds allowed, he created a film that won Best Human Document at Cannes and established Indian cinema as a global art form.
