Young techie makes film on child labour

A young technie from India's sunrise industry – software is trying to throw light upon some forgotten aspects of life in Bangalore.

He is using film and his spare time to draw attention to child labour.

"Maybe we are not accepting that they are human beings, one among us. That's why we leave them like that.

"In your home, ten people are there. Six people are eating food and the remaining four don't get any. That is not fair," said Alexis Dias, software professional.

The short documentary is just six minutes long and it has already begun to circulate widely on the internet and at public screenings.

What made you want to make a film on it?

Alexis "A movie is the best medium through which you can express your feelings in the best possible way. Maybe I am not talking to you in very good English but when I make a movie I can interpret the things in the best possible way.

"When we go through traffic signals, if we have to wait for the signal, we get suffocated because of the pollution, but the children are there throughout the day.

"From morning to evening we see these children suffering and we don't really have to get motivated for this because this is not hidden. This is open. We are seeing everyday."

The image speaks of the passion of this man.
