GANDHI’S CHILDREN
The Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology presents a major new work by DAVID MACDOUGALL
A shelter for children on the outskirts of Delhi provides food and accommodation for 350 boys. Some are orphans, others have been abandoned, and about half are held under a court order, having been picked up from the streets for petty crimes. Living at the institution for several months, the filmmaker, David MacDougall, explores its routines and the varied experiences of several boys.
