WHISPERS IN THE NIGHT

In
every city, is an army of anonymous men and women who brave the scorching blaze
of the sun, the chill of winters and the monsoons to guard our lives and
property. In the face of increased global security concerns, these security
guards belong to a burgeoning industry that is growing annually at a rapid
pace.
Whispers in the Night journeys with these security
workers as they share their hopes, dreams and disappointments about a job that
is both challenging and thankless. At its heart, the film raises concerns about
the need to protect the rights of the very people who steadfastly protect us.
18 mins/ Hindi (with English Subtitles)
Directed
by Abhishek Kukreja
Produced
by Stick Figure Films
Peddling
his way in a mad city rush, he not only gets food for his body, but also discovers
something for his soul. Rikshawala
is a self-narrated story of transformation. It exemplifies that in the
university called ‘Life’, difficulty is perhaps the harshest teacher, but has
most virtuous lessons to impart. As we watch him taking his trips, let’s hope
we find inspiration in his journey.
Kriti Film Club is an
educational and research oriented initiative of Kriti: a development research,
praxis and communication team. We offer an independently financed and informal
space for screening documentary films on a whole range of social, development,
human rights & environment issues. The whole idea of the KRITI Film Club is
to place thought-provoking cinema in a discussion group that will help to
deepen understanding on these issues amongst viewers and film-makers. We also
serve as a borrowing & distribution space for documentary films from India
and abroad.
