Life , Love , Hope : A documentary




Aids Home , where innocent children are doomed to spend a life without real life , love and hope. But this wonderful movie shows how goodness can win over the circumstances. 

A little girl of seven or eight years , teaches everyone including the audience the values we boast to have but we have them only in our theories. She saves a man's life who kept himself aloof from her just because she is the patient of Aids. The man was bullied and hit by drunkards in the night . She heard the noise and went out to help the man and thus she saved his life. He learns the lesson and next day comes to thank her by gifting her a huge dairymilk. 

Now the second clip begins. Love. She has got her reward. The watchman teaches her an adult lesson of selfishness. He asks her to go behind the building to eat her chocolate in isolation. She says okay. But cleverly calls her all friends to have a share from her chocolate. Now the problem is there is only one dairymilk among 10-15 children. But the little resolute girl has huge mind like her huge heart. She uncovers her chocolate and shows it to the sun . Due to the heat the chocolate becomes liquid and thus everyone dips the finger and tastes the ethereal thing. 

One night her friend sobs looking at the moon while everyone is asleep. She , the sensitive one wakes up hearing her cries and goes to her. Here she becomes the angel of hope for that another girl. She tries to find out what makes her friend cry. And then she comes to know that her friend is missing her mother who is probably dead due to Aids. Her friend asks her, "Where is my amma , why doesn't she come to me." She points toward the moon and says . "Your amma is there and looking at you." Her friend asks , "How do you know?" She says . " I know because my amma is also there. And when she went she told me to take care of myself and others. " And then she tells that because our amma is watching over us , we have to take care of ourselves and be happy or they will be sad to see us crying. At this moment the moon is focused. And one is not able to restrain tears. A little girl on the threshold of uncertain future and death talks about hope and spreads love and is full of vigor and life . After watching this movie, I am compelled to think about the ways of our life , our sorrows , our failures , our hopelessness , our efforts to spread happiness around when we are still physically and mentally able. 

The movie becomes more poignant because of the contrast of the worst hopeless situation of that girl and her goodness which makes her full of life , love and hope.I would request everyone to watch this movie. It may bring back your life to you. And I would recommend volunteers of the different NGOs who work with children to show this movie to the children because the girl of the movie is a child and the act of a child can inspire other child effectively than anything else. I would also like parents to collect the DVDs of such inspiring movie. Like junk food junk bollywood movies damage the mind of children and do not provide the vitamins of values properly ,in such case the documentary movies of these kind can prove a healthy dose. I am aware of the fact that the market of these kind of movies is still underdeveloped but I hope in near future inspiring documentaries would be easily available in the market or on internet and would be largely watched by people.  

Here is one clip of the documentary , I suppose it is the clip of the title - Love.
