New Film Chath A Roof Without Walls

Chath A Roof Without Walls

Directors' Note

In recent years the number of homeless New Yorkers residing in shelters has reached the highest point in New York State's history and this includes more than 12000 children in New York City shelters. Three-fourths of the population suffers from chronic mental illness. Chath is inspired by true stories of these homeless people in America. The dramatic facet of Chath delves into the lives of 3 homeless Indians in USA. The fact that homelessness is more of an emotional and mental phenomena rather than an economic condition has been highlighted in the form of a very captivating and dramatic screenplay.

Thanks to the intensity and focus of the entire team, we were able to shoot this movie in just 5 days under freezing conditions. We truly hope you enjoy our team effort.

When Bob and Rex both homeless and originally from India meet each other, the experience is far from pleasant. Bob is the bully and Rex gets pushed around. They ultimately find a common ground to co-exist. Food and shelter are their only goals in life and they remain distant from ambitions and desires. Things start to change when they meet Sahana, a homeless Indian girl. Her views attract Bob's senses. He slowly starts questioning the very existence of his self and wants to face the truth and change. Rex is content with the present. Sahana’s presence slowly creates a rift in their friendship.

Emotions heighten to huge proportions resulting in a nerve-wrecking climax. Do they survive the ordeal?
