Résumé
This story of a Chhara tribal theatre group in Ahmedabad, India. The members of the Budhan Theatre are tribal rebels who were notifies as 'born criminals' by the British in 1871, and imprisoned in a labor camp in Ahmedabad. After Indian independence, they were de-notified, but the stigma of being 'born criminal' follows them to this day. This documentary reveals how theatre has transformed the lives of adults and children within the community
