From Delhi Newsline
After years of slogging it out at a wine shop in Andhra Pradesh, 10-year old Mahesh enrols himself in a community school. Asmina and Darshan decide that the only way to empowerment is to travel a few hundred kilometres from their village in Rajasthan and join a boarding school in Bodh town. Four-year-old Mayuri from Kennedypur in Gujarat has just learnt numbers and now teaches her illiterate mother.
These are snippets from a powerful documentary film, Chalo School, made by Delhi-based documentary filmmaker Umesh Bist. The film does its job: it makes it clear that the “only way out of poverty is education”, as Bist puts it.
