I was fortunate enough to visit Kamali and her family in India this past weekend — it was one of the most inspiring days of my life. Her mom, Suganthi, is determined to push for equality for her children, which is uncommon in traditional households.
Need some #MotivationMonday? @RYOTfilms’ “Kamali” is a deeply moving story of girlhood in India, grit, and how a single mother’s fight for her daughter’s empowerment manifested itself through skateboarding. https://t.co/03aVS1HPCE
Thank you Downtown Los Angeles Film Festival for awarding LOWLAND KIDS Best Documentary Short and for the coverage from BroadwayWorld of the win! 🏆
