Railway Children (Kannada) (NR)

synopsis

This film is inspired by the real incidences experienced by the NGO Sathi, and from the research book "Rescuing Railway Children" by Lalitha Iyer and Malcolm Harper. This film makes an honest attempt to explore the intimate realities of platform survival. The film explores various themes such as abuse, sexual abuse and addiction. It also explores one of the least explored themes in World Cinema: the trans-gender issues among girls. In this world of platform-survival there is drugs, sexual violence, entrepreneurial spirit, life, hope, there are helping hands and there are cruel bosses. Railway Children attempts to explore this world through the eyes of ten year old Raju.
