| From respected forgers of armor and weaponry for Hindu kings in the 16th century to nomadic blacksmiths who barely survive, the history of India's proud but forgotten Gadia Lohar community is told for the first time this documentary. It provides a voice for a community that went from being highly respected to one of the country's most poverty-stricken, seIIing handmade items from metal scraps and living on the margins of Indian society. UK-born actress, former Miss lndia UK, and filmmaker Deana UppaI witnessed the lifestyle of the nomadic communities whilst living in India and explores the Gadia Lohars, who rarely mix with others outside their community. She immerses herself, listening and observing how they live, speaking to other Indians about their perceptions of these nomads, and interviewing government officials about how to heIp. She soon found a community caught between powerful historicaI origins and an inabiIity to fit into a modern-day society, where technology has overtaken their IiveIihood but pride and tradition do not allow them to modernize. Looking at the divide between rich and poor in India, this investigative fiIm and teIIs the true story of the Gadia Lohars for the first time. |
