ANUJA is a joyous story about hope, resilience, the powerful bonds of sisterhood, and the profound impact of lifting up those who may not have a voice or opportunity. The short follows a gifted nine-year-old girl, alongside her sister Palak, as they work in a back-alley garment factory. When a teacher offers Anuja a chance to attend an elite boarding school, the sisters must navigate challenges that test their resilience and bond, culminating in a decision faced by countless young girls worldwide.

Produced in partnership with the Salaam Baalak Trust, a non-profit organization who provides food, shelter, and education to thousands of street and working children in New Delhi. Lead actress Sajda Pathan, who plays the role of Anuja, is one of these children.
