Film Short Abstract:

Produced by Survival International this short film was made as a ‘global alert’: we were learning that residential schools for tribal and indigenous children around the world were on the increase. Especially in India.

Abstract:

Survival International’s campaign against ‘Factory Schools' had resulted in anthropologists and activists working in India to record interviews with children and parents of children who were suffering the impacts of such schools. At the centre of the Indian schools was KISS - which at the time was little known for its mass ‘education; of Adivasi children. Using archival footage from Canada and footage shot in India along with KISS’s own promotional material, this short film was made as part of a long-term need to raise awareness of these crimes against children.
