Chuskit

Chuskit is a happy, lively girl who will soon be off to school, something she and her friends are really looking forward to. Then she gets into an accident, which leaves her paralyzed. This completely changes her life. She can no longer leave the house, so playing outdoors is out of the question, as is going to school. Chuskit is very unhappy. Her grandfather tells her to just chin up and accept her fate. But resigning to her fate is not an option for brave Chuskit. She refuses to give up!

Set in the Himalayas, in northern India, the film gives an insight into the life and customs of the mountain people in this beautiful area.

PRIYA RAMASUBBAN (1972, India) spent many years making films such as Lost Kings of Israel and Divine Delinquents  for international broadcasters such as National Geographic, Discovery and History Channel. She evolved the story for Chuskit (2018) – which won the Children's Jury Award: Global Zoom Prize at Children's Film Festival Seattle 2019 – at a National Film Development Corporation of India screenwriter’s lab.
