Child labour robs children of education, happiness and most of all, their childhood. The challenge was to open people’s eyes to the violence, abuse and exploitation faced by these kids. And nothing opens eyes and speaks to the heart more than raw, unrestricted, hard-hitting visuals which take viewers through a day in the terrible life of some of these children.
What did the judges have to say?
"It is very subtle and smooth production design. It helps the viewers to focus on the storytelling and get into that particular world. It adds a very realistic but gloomy atmosphere, precious textures and pictoral images."
