Director Statement

How do you feel when you are assumed to be a thief because your father is a thief? How do you feel when you are not welcomed in your best friend’s home because you are from the lower caste? How do you feel when your mother is sleeping with the police officer, who arrested your father? How do you feel when the only friend that you have got is leaving you alone in the village? This film is an attempt to revisit my memories of growing up as a minority facing discrimination from the majority. I hope to show that when we choose love over hate, humanity can be saved. Rammat-Gammat is a very relevant story in today’s hate-filled time across the world.
