The film Gandhi’s
Children will be shown at the Citizens for Peace meeting at 7 pm. on
Tuesday, October 8th at Unity of Livonia. This film focuses on the lives of several
groups of modern day untouchables in India.
“The untouchables are forced to lead a heartrending life. They are not allowed to drink from the same
wells, attend the same temples, and wear shoes in the presence of the upper
caste, or fall in love with a member of another caste”, said Vishnu Vasu, the
film’s director. “After realizing the
untouchables are socially and physically excluded, I decided it was high time
that someone spoke about it at an international level”. The film has played at over thirty film
festivals and has won eight awards for Best Documentary Cinematography.
The public is invited to view and discuss this powerful film
about the powerless in India.
