Mira Nair (Monsoon Wedding) adds her angry voice to the cinema of forgotten children in this wrenching drama of an 11-year-old boy (real-life street child Shafiq Syed) who heads to the big city and joins a sea of homeless children and down-and-out adults scrambling to survive the pitiless streets. The fantasy of Bollywood dreams hangs just out of reach in posters movies and radio tunes momentary respites from the hard reality of a world ruled by brutal pimps and drug dealers. Academy Award nominated for Best Foreign Language Film this is a gritty look into the underbelly... and plight of Bombay's poor street children who call the gutters of its filthy urban streets home. It is filled with the sights and sounds of this urban nightmare. This highly acclaimed film allows the viewer a peek at another culture only to find that basic human needs and desires are universal.
