A sanitation worker dreams of becoming a lawyer to fight for workers’ rights; a mother dreams of sharing her secrets and struggles with her child; a woman rehearses a difficult conversation with her boyfriend. Kathi, Kathi, Kaarana is an anthology of ‘true fiction’, narrated and produced by workers and their families from the city of Bangalore. The film marks the culmination of a pedagogical experiment — a weekend school that explored a language of storytelling, wellbeing and mental health, and the birth of an artist collective.
