This is a short excerpt from the feature film in post-production - Apna Ghar. We plan to have the completed film ready for screening in the next couple of months but in the meantime wanted to share a little taster of the project.
The film charts the work of Ravi Rai Manas and his organisation, Children of Mother Earth. CoME works with destitute children and families living in abject poverty along the vast network of railway lines in northern India. Many of the children in this film have been forced to beg, steal or been sold as slaves to survive in a country that boasts a strong economy and rapidly growing middle class but still has little ability to care for its most vulnerable.
