Lucky
Directed by Avie Luthra, 20 min (UK/South Africa)
Lucky is an AIDS orphan desperate to leave his rural Zulu village in South Africa for the bright lights of Durban, and also to get an education there. He is full of excitement and hope but Lucky has to learn about life the hard way, not through school or education but through an unlikely bond with a prejudiced Indian elderly women.

Kunjo
Directed by Terrie Samundra, 25 min (US/India)
Forced to work to support her family, Kunjo, a 12-year-old refugee, spends her days begging on the streets. When an unlikely friendship blossoms with Preeta, an educated school girl from a higher caste, Kunjo reveals her secret passion for storytelling. Faced with betrayal and the complexity of an unconventional friendship, will Kunjo stand up for herself or submit to her place in society?
*Winner, Best Narrative Short, Athens International Film Festival.
