Please give 5 minutes to read this mail - thanks

Hi,

It gives me immense pleasure to inform you that 'Children of the
Pyre', recently received national award, is slated to be screened in
India for the first time. It is not just a film - every part of the
film is very thought provoking, starting from children, their life,
their living place, shooting, story, direction, sound etc.

The schedule is given below:-
Day and Date -      Thursday, April 29, 2010
Time-                     6pm
Place -                  Sirifort Auditorium, New Delhi

SYNOPSIS
'Children of the Pyre' is a compelling real-life, self-narrative of
seven such extraordinary children who make their living out of the
dead. They collect, snatch or steal used coffin shrouds and sell them
for petty amounts in order to ensure their own and their family's
survival.

Tempered by the heat of the pyre, strengthened in the face of
adversities and crafted by a volley of abuses, these imps weave
through the pyres and struggle through disdain in this land of the
dead. Laughing, smiling, weeping, fighting and shouting, these
children run the race for survival - winning it again and again –
everyday.
