An impactful story told in a beautiful and captivating way. This is a real, raw story that makes my heart hurt, and yet I left filled with hope and awe for the future. Visually, the images and camera perspectives are almost photographic in their color, drama and lighting. I'm a fan of short films, and this is a great example of one in that the content takes you in deep enough to explore the story but doesn't over complicate it (or politicize it.) The focus on the children themselves--versus only a focus on Pushpa herself--works very well here. There are so many important issues in the world that need to be shared; we need documentary films like this as a form of continuing education to being a compassionate human.
