Kamali

A short documentary by Sasha Rainbow.
Director's Assistant: Laura Basil Duncan

A single Indian mother fights for her daughter’s empowerment through skateboarding.

Seven-year-old Kamali is the only girl skateboarder in a small fishing village in India where, by chance, a skate ramp happened to be built right outside her house. Kamali's timorous mother, Suganthi, gives in to a burning desire to escape her past and decides to take a pilgrimage in a quest for self discovery. As mother and daughter are separated for the first time, they both must find their freedom as they dare to step outside into a man’s world.
