The Truth - India

July 2006
This beautifully made, poetic film looks at the child labourers in India. Its artistic style and vibrant soundtrack has led to it becoming a popular hit on the internet.

The film juxtaposes images of affluence in the west, with pictures of child labourers at work in Bangalore. Instead of using interviews or narration, filmmaker Alexis Dias relies on the strength of his images and editing to get the message across. As he explains: "From morning to evening, we see these children suffering. Film is the best medium to express my feelings"

In all this game, the devil is losing and at the end will be accused of everything because GOD don’t want any rivals. Conclusion: live at the full in the freedom of GOD (praying in a right form, following the INSTRUCTIONS in the Bible - keeping the 10 commandments - including keeping the Saturday as the 7th day etc.) instead of in the incapacity and limited power of devil because he is just a temporary puppet. Jesus Christ is the savior and hope.

The beautiful Children of India are a sad reminder of how capitalistic Conquistadores can drive a Country into such Poverty and Despair! India the jewel of old and the Dreamland of many!

There is no doubt that our grievances against the British Empire had a sound basis. As the painstaking statistical work of the Cambridge historian Angus Maddison has shown, India's share of world income collapsed from 22.6% in 1700, almost equal to Europe's share of 23.3% at that time, to as low as 3.8% in 1952. Indeed, at the beginning of the 20th century, "the brightest jewel in the British Crown" was the poorest country in the world in terms of per capita income.- Dr ManMohan Singh

@SuperUncleruckus India back on its feet??? I guess no one will live to see that happen! Indians are LAZY bastards..! Japan had thousands of bombers dropping atom bombs on your head day and night and destroying your entire country to nothing but a heap of rubbles. This was 1945 at the end of the WW2. They rebuilt the country from rubbles to the richest country in the world in 30 years.. and India is stll trying to get back on its feet...come on!!!
