The streets have always been home to 16-year-old Sheru. One among the countless children living in the streets of the capital, his struggle is like any other street child, doing odd jobs to make a living. Yet something about his happy-go-lucky positive attitude and his passion for photography makes him stand apart. Sheru's hopes and fears have been captured perfectly in the documentary Say Cheese.
This film is about the Tabitha Children’s home, a home for orphans living with HIV/AIDS located in the Raphei valley, Mantripukhri, Imphal. The film captures the lives of the children at this home through the means of a film production workshop which our team had organized for them. Run by a Christian family along with nine volunteers, the home is a refuge for those orphaned, HIV positive children who do not have anyone to call as their own, and do not have anywhere else to go. Here under the loving care of the owner of the home and the other volunteers, the children are sheltered, protected, provided medical treatment and are prepared to meet a future which they can look forward to—a future without stigmatization, loneliness, or fear of failing.
A documentary about a little boy Aadil, living in Asia's second-largest slum Dharavi in Mumbai- dreaming of becoming an actor like Tiger Shroff.
2014 was the centenary year of the First World War which broke out in Europe in 1914. This war with its enormous scale of loss of limb, life and money was restricted not only to the parent continent but also spread over Africa, the middle East, and Central and East Asia. This documentary is a record of the story of Indian Army regiments who fought on behalf of the British across difficult terrains in various war zones across the world. In a series of heartrending letters written by the soldiers to their families back home, the film showcases stories of the excruciating battle conditions, the challenges and obstacles overcome by our brave soldiers, their spirit of unyielding determination and valour, their relationship with the other Allied Forces, and the distinction and honour with which they performed their duty towards their parent country.
Womb for Rent follows the incredible journey of a surrogate mother from India. The story revolves around a protagonist Vimlesh, a housewife from one of the many slums of India’s National Capital region. A mother who has rented out her womb. She is placed against the context of commercialization and globalization. The film also takes an objective look at the somewhat incredulous phenomenon (and the immense commercial possibility) of ‘made-to-order’ babies – about the specifications on high demand like colour of eyes, hair, skin etc that would-be parents expect and how these demands are met/handled by the medics involved. India provides an interesting backdrop to tell this story – because surrogacy is not just legal but a big-business here.
