KHATTE: The Choice of Freedom

A documentary film about long-term street children, living in Kathmandu and two protagonists: ex-street kid Sushil Babu Chhetri and Lalit Shasi who runs a non-government organization for children in need. Sushil wants to direct street theatre with street children as main protagonists, trying to show alternative ways how to help them and how to face this never ending problem. But his task turns out not to be as easy as it seemed, facing more problems than he expected at the beginning. Lalit Shasi, despite the fact that there are no street children in his orphanage, wants to save three street kids from the street by giving them bed, food and safety in his organization. But he faces the reality of the street and struggle to convince children to choose safety instead of their freedom.
