A short-film on children who witness domestic violence

Bache to kacchi mitti ki tarah hote hain, jaise dhalo dhal jate hain

A person is made of impressions he accumulates during his life. Parents play a major role in creating these impressions. What if some of these impressions are not of the positive kind? These impressions then turn into scars which can haunt a person throughout his life. In India, parents are given the status of God and, just like God, they are a matter not of choice but of birth. Once a child is scarred, he lives forever with the unanswerable questions of ‘Why me?’ or ‘What had I done to deserve this?’

Through this project I aim to raise some sensitivity and create awareness about the effects of domestic violence on a child.
