STREET WORKERS UNITE!

Director & Producer: Gabriel Diamond and Matthew Beighley,

 Gabriel Diamond

India’s street vendors and rickshaw drivers are among the country’s most vulnerable citizens. For years they’ve lived and worked without legal protections and without access to financial services, and have been subject to harassment by the police, the mafia, and others. NIDAN is working to change all that by organizing them to stand up for their own rights and stop “feeding milk to the snake.”

12-year-old Tatheer embarks on a week-long Police boot camp for girls from a social housing estate in Copenhagen. Far from home, deep in the woods, she navigates grueling rituals, elusive social dynamics, and personal setbacks to find her place in this tender and revealing coming-of-age story.
