You can watch the film for free online via Google Video. Please visit our distributor’s website for the link. From there you can also download a free study-guide. If you are using the film for institutional purposes you must purchase a copy, which you can also do from there. Our distributor, DER, has generously allowed us to continue to make this film available as a free download for personal use, please support them (and us) by ordering a copy for your institution.

Because we want you to have the best possible viewing experience, we have chosen to also distribute this file as a BitTorrent download. This allows for a larger, DVD quality, file and a faster download. The file is a 127 MB QuickTime movie. (If you don’t have QuickTime installed, you can download it for free here.)

Note: Please help us by leaving BitTorrent open and running in the background after downloading is complete. The more people do this, the quicker downloading will be for everybody! And please be patient waiting for your download to complete.

Once nomads, the Chhara now live in an urban ghetto on the edge of a large industrial city in western India. The British labeled them a "criminal tribe" and today they are still guilty until proven innocent. Nobody will hire them. To survive, some sell illegal liquor while others engage in petty thievery. But now a group of young people are using theater to fight back against a century of prejudice and oppression.
