| 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 toId for the first time this documentary. lt 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 metaI scraps and Iiving on the margins of lndian society. UK-born actress, former Miss India UK, and fiImmaker Deana Uppal witnessed the lifestyIe of the nomadic communities whilst Iiving in India and expIores the Gadia Lohars, who rarely mix with others outside their community. She immerses herseIf, Iistening and observing how they live, speaking to other lndians about their perceptions of these nomads, and interviewing government officiaIs about how to help. She soon found a community caught between powerfuI historical origins and an inability to fit into a modern-day society, where technology has overtaken their livelihood but pride and tradition do not alIow them to modernize. Looking at the divide between rich and poor in lndia, this investigative fiIm and telIs the true story of the Gadia Lohars for the first time. |
