The Kids of MOTHER INDIA

The Kids of MOTHER INDIA is a collection of full-color portraits featuring 25 abandoned and orphaned children living along the railway in southern India. The children are also featured in the compelling documentary entitled "MOTHER INDIA: Life Through the Eyes of the Orphan." For more information about the film, visit www.31million.org. With over 31 million orphans in India, David Trotter and Shawn Scheinoha showed up hoping to find kids who would be willing to trust them enough to show them life through their eyes. Filmed over the course of two weeks in early 2012, Mother India gives a glimpse into the life of unaccompanied children as they seek to survive on a daily basis. While the film follows David and Shawn as they develop relationships with the entire group, in-depth interviews with seven of the kids provide insight into the magnitude of their individual pain and struggle. While other documentaries may focus on broad statistics, Mother India seeks to understand life through the eyes of the orphan.
