Our take
Following a Muslim family’s quietly heroic quest to protect the humble kite birds, Shaunak Sen’s visually exquisite documentary finds hope amid uncertainty. A powerful paean to human empathy that combats the toxicity seeping through the air and the political landscape of New Delhi with compassion.
