Selling Children director Pankaj Johar⎜THE WHY ASKS ⎜(Interview)

Pankaj Johar left his job in finance to pursue his love for documentary films and creating social impact. As part of our WHY SLAVERY? campaign, he directed the 2018 film ‘Selling Children’. We are delighted to announce that this film is The Why’s film of the month of June in honour of World Day Against Child Labour on the 12th of June.
Johar’s documentary is an insight into the presence of child slavery in India today, fueled by poverty and inequality. It follows the lives of children from all over India who have been denied a childhood and an education to be sold to work in mica mines, pick tea leaves at plantations, or work as domestic helpers. Some young girls are even sold as brides.
In this compelling discussion, we cover child labour and slavery in India six years on from the making of the film, and why raising awareness is key to stopping the vicious cycle of slavery, poverty and illiteracy.
