On July 22, 2009, DDW hosted their premier of Discovering: Shuktara
Discovering: Shuktara, DDW's first documentary film, is the remarkable story of 18 boys and girls in Kolkata, India who were
given a new chance at life after being abandoned by their families or escaping abusive homes. While many non-governmental organizations in India often overlook homeless children who are deaf or have
cerebral palsy, Shuktara embraces them.
"Before, they were written off as incapable of learning, developing as individuals or integrating into society," says Shuktara Founder, David Earp. "Now, the boys and girls grow in every sense - physically, in confidence, in skills, in communication."
Shuktara is a home filled with love that seeps into your heart. Instead of being reckless, aggressive and angry, these kids show affection, gratitude, and support for each other. They have created a family of their own.
