Director Statement

With an academic background in Communications and Journalism, I believe the media is supposed to mirror the society we live in, educate and empower its audience. I want to be able to always present my audience with powerful messages via films.

Most individuals see street kids as thieves and a menace to the society but I decided to tell this story from a street kids' point of view. The aim was to make the common man understand that these kids are exposed to all sorts of dangers as clearly shown in the movie.
