Pearl of the Desert / Maru ro Moti
Synopsis
In the Indian desert, Moti sings out to be free from the shackles of old customs. After a musical journey of his own, he realizes where his music belongs. Moti Kahn, a 12-year-old Indian boy, is talented in singing. He loves singing the Manganiyar songs, a big part of which has been the long-time tradition of artist-hereditary patron relationship. But Moti finds singing for their patrons humiliating as they are still treated lowly, and he aspires to earn respect from the world through music. He sets on a journey to the bigger world – will he be able to keep the spirit of Manganiyars?Details of Crew
