The Backward Class
Directed by Madeleine Grant and Produced by Jessica Cheung
The Backward Class is a hopeful coming-of-age story. The first class of Dalit (‘untouchable’) caste students, in India’s history, undertake the national ISC high school graduation exams as a means to a brighter future for themselves, and an opportunity to break their families out of the destitution they’ve been entrenched in for generations.
