CHOTU (SHORTY) - Exploitation of Childhood in Educated Society - An Experimental Mobile Documentary By NIKKHIL - Best Mobile Film Award Winner at Calcutta International Cult Film Festival 2018

An estimated 150 million children worldwide engaged in child labour with at least half found in South and South East Asia.

India has 440 million children. Every fifth child in the world is Indian. About 27 million children are born each year in India.

So what sort of life do these children have as they grow up?

UNICEF estimated that India may be the country with the highest number of child labourers in the world.

Child labourers in India are most commonly employed in agriculture and industries like carpet, firework, match, brassware, glassware, clothing, footwear and silk.

But I was more interested in the modern India, in our own houses, in our day to day living and amongst the well-educated.

I started my walk of only around a 1 km in the heart of the capital of India and I saw various avatars of exploitation of childhood.

This is the reel count of real incidents & visuals I saw.

I met children primarily known as CHOTUs, the universal name given to childhood by the society.

I was trying to recollect, how many times I call CHOTU in a day, but we never realise, knowingly or unknowingly the sin being committed by us, day in day out.

It is “I” rather “We” who needs to change to bring about the bigger change.

We together need to Protect CHILDHOOD. We need to take care of it like a mother takes care of her child while in womb.
