Meet Meena, Afsara, Bilkis, Rabin and many other remarkable individuals from Kolkata’s impoverished Kalighat red-light district. They are part of CAM-ON, a creative community that learns filmmaking through online tutorials. Regularly uploading dynamic visual stories about their lives to YouTube, their work navigates their personal struggles and the challenges of their past. Despite the derision of a deeply conservative society, they remain determined to become filmmakers and actors, attempting to break the cycle of prostitution for the next generation, and survive through the art of cinema. Their ultimate dream is to transform the red-light district into a professional film hub in a post-pandemic world. Redlight to Limelight captures the remarkable power of this collective endeavour.
