Majority of sex-workers in India work as prostitutes due to lack of resources to support themselves and their family. When basic necessities of life aren’t available, education takes a backseat. But, we cannot deny the fact that education is an absolute necessity for everyone, sex-worker or not. This story of a school run by sex-workers for the sex-workers is a silver lining. “You educate a man; you educate a man. You educate a woman; you educate a generation.” - Brigham Young

Inner Transitions | Platinum Film of The Year, Best Cinematography and Edit | IFP 2013
This beautiful film is a classic depiction of The Butterfly Effect – a single occurrence, no matter how small, can change the course of the universe forever. This short film titled, “Inner Transitions”, shows us two scenarios:
One, where three guys chase and rape a girl.
Two, where one of the guys listen to the voice of his inner conscience & befriends the girl instead.
Same situation, same people, different outcomes.
Can India change? Yes, it can.

AWARD WINNING Best Short Video in Gujarati
We stumbled upon this beautiful video from 2013 that is so thoughtful that it deserves to reach more viewers. Probably the best video that echos the indescribable joy of giving.
Although, we celebrate ‘The Joy of Giving’ Week during Gandhi Jayanti in October, do we really need a reason & occasion to gift away small joys?

The Pissing Tanker - Must Watch
There’s a new activist group in town and they are anonymous. If you think that isn’t powerful enough: they have a massive water tanker in their arsenal. They are the anti public-urination activists: The Clean Indian. Like a crusader of the dark, they roam the streets and attack when it is least expected.
When the problem is public urination, the solution is ought to be public urination (by the pissing tanker). Wearing masks and wielding water hoses, their motto is painfully simple:
You Stop, We Stop.
Thanks to ‘The Clean Indian’ for contributing the video. Go get them.
A Girl Who Can’t Cry - Powerful Video
It’s really hard to educate a generation of people born in conditions where they take things for granted. A simple slogan campaign that says, “Save water, It’s precious” isn’t sticky enough to make inroads. That’s exactly where this video steps in: to make people realize how precious water actually is.
A brilliant video that follows the heartbreaking story of a young girl that cannot cry.
Sounds like fiction? Sadly, it is not.

Bollywood music video for gay
We created the first ever Bollywood music video for gay rights with our

beautiful reminder that everyone should be warmly welcomed by family,
no matter who they are or whom they love.
