ABSTRACT
For some viewers, Nero's Guests will be nothing more than a quirky documentary about suicides among farmers in rural India. The film is certainly about this, but it also provides one of the most insightful and devastating critiques of the perpetuation of the inequities in the global order that I have ever watched, and the revelation of the meaning of the title at the end of the documentary is enough to knock you back in your seat and, more importantly, make you think about your own role in the protection of human rights.
