SALAAM BOMBAY Father Barnabe says Slumdog Millionare was not the true story of street kids. You need to see Salaam Bombay to get much closer to the lives of street kids. Salaam Bombay is a heartrending account of the plight of Krishna, a ten year old boy, who is thrown out by his family and abandoned by his new friends in a travelling circus. He comes like so many other homeless and friendless young people to Bombay – The City of Dreams. He ends up in Bombay’s red light district where he is shown the ropes by a drug addict and a prostitute. Krishna learns how to survive in the streets of a dirty and crowded city. Salaam Bombay will astonish and dismay you as you follow the unbelievable deprivations endured by this hungry and homeless young boy who seems condemned by fate to a hopeless future. | ||||
