Whose Life Is It Anyway? 2001 Directed by Jane Gabriel
“We felt humiliated when they hit us, we asked ourselves what kind of life this is. Being in the union we realised that we should be allowed to live decently.” There have been calls for the abolition of child labour for years, but this film follows working children in the slums of Delhi and Bangalore who are demanding the right to work. They are forming unions and challenging authorities as they try to take control of their own lives. “They never ask us as working children what our problems are because they don’t want to know the truth.”
