Director Statement

In directing this documentary, my aim was to shed light on the often overlooked but vital issue of primary education among underprivileged children in rural parts of India. Through intimate storytelling and poignant visual narratives, I sought to capture the resilience and determination of these young learners as they strive for knowledge amid challenging circumstances. This film delves into the harsh realities faced by these children and their families, while also celebrating their unwavering spirit and the transformative power of education. By amplifying their voices and experiences, I hope to ignite meaningful conversations and inspire action towards creating equitable educational opportunities for all children in rural India.
