The Revolutionary Optimists
Small but inspiring revolutionaries.
Overview
The revolutionaries in this documentary are two 11-year-olds with no access to clean drinking water, a girl forced to labour inside a brick kiln and a teenage dancer considering marriage to escape her abusive family. Together with the lawyer turned change agent Amlan Ganguly these kids from Calcutta build a small but inspiring revolution within their impoverished community.
Ganguly assists the four protagonists to fight seemingly insurmountable odds in order to build a better future for themselves and their community, challenging the notion that their fate lies in the hands of destiny.
