An Actor

Directed By Dakxin Bajrange

Shubham, a special child born into the Chhara Denotified Tribe, harbours a dream of becoming an actor. He finds hope and training in Budhan Theatre, a community-led initiative empowering marginalized voices. Despite enduring extreme poverty, his passion for acting remains undeterred. However, the deep-rooted stigma surrounding his community shuts him out of the education system, leaving him with no choice but to follow in his father’s footsteps as a thief. As he struggles against a destiny shaped by societal prejudice and colonial-era stigma, his story unfolds as a powerful reflection of how dreams are stolen from the oppressed.
