Synopsis
|
Filmed in early 2008, Discovering: Shuktara, DDW's first documentary film, is the remarkable story of 18 deaf/disabled boys and girls in Kolkata, India who were given anew 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.
