Children Playing Gods (director)

Documentary, 61 mins, 2008 (Hindi with English subtitles)

During the festival of the Ramlila, the streets of the city of Varanasi, India, are transformed into dramatic stages, where the “gods”  descend onto the earth and ‘play’, in the form of children. A group of actors, artists, and teachers worked with children from a  Ramlila neighbourhood to teach theatre, history, and self-identity. They encountered support and prejudice from the community and a child’s world unforgiving in its realities and universal in its imagination and discoveries. This film is about their journey.
