A Thousand Dreams by Ulka Chauhan
A Thousand Dreams by Ulka Chauhan
Shot across Mumbai and Delhi in urban and rural areas... this story is an exploration of education in times of Corona, in a country where literacy is a challenge even in the best of times. My story spotlights kids from marginalised socio-economic backgrounds - slum kids in the cities and village kids on the outskirts of the cities - many of whom were confronted with migration, starvation and loss due to the current pandemic. Through this project, I wish to show the aspirational spirit of these kids, who despite the adversities are hungry to learn so they can work towards realising their dreams.
