The Crow's Egg

Such a special movie. Having spent some time in the slums of Mumbai and seeing the kids and how they live with constant smiles and great humour amongst incredible poverty and hardship, this movie absolutely paints a perfect picture.

It is almost impossible for the privileged westerner to contemplate their lives but this movie really takes you deep into their daily, otherwise invisible, existence. The amazing subtext of this movie is that humans can find happiness and joy even in the most miserable of situations.

Sadly, it also shows how the poor can be completely ignored and humiliated by the "haves". Even worse, they are often used for the avaricious ends of the nefarious.

Fantastic acting, direction and cinematography makes this a very special movie.

This is a must see movie. It is both entertaining and deeply educational. 10 stars!
