*Synopsis:*

In 2005, children of sex workers in Kolkata's Sonagachi red light district
came together to form their own organisation, Amra Padatik, drawing
inspiration from the work that their mothers have been doing to demand their
right to sex work as work. The film journeys through the lives of five Amra
Padatik members whose entangled realities do not paint a picture of
helplessness but of political assertiveness and social consciousness.
Stereotypical images of their suffering are something that many of them
identify with, yet, far from despair and fear, in the face of adversity,
their responses are far more complex, hopeful and strong


Hope to see you there.

Cheers,

Debolina
