A documentary following a theatre workshop for underprivileged children in Jhalana Dungri, Jaipur.
Set in the informal squatter settlements of Jhalana Dungri in Jaipur, this documentary follows a theatre workshop created for underprivileged children through a collaboration between Jairangam and the Kalandar NGO.
The film examines how creative expression becomes a tool for confidence-building, community support, and emotional growth for children living in areas shaped by socioeconomic hardship.
Through intimate storytelling and observational footage, the documentary captures local traditions, intergenerational dynamics, and the shifting cultural landscape surrounding the community.
It highlights how art—often inaccessible in marginalized spaces—can transform perspectives, broaden opportunities, and strengthen identity.
The workshop culminates in a public performance at Jawahar Kala Kendra, where the children bring their stories to the stage, demonstrating how creativity can bridge worlds and expand what feels possible for young people navigating complex realities.
