CATAPULTS TO CAMERAS

This is quite a remarkable documentary about an innovative program that educates young people about the need to conserve wildlife in their country.

Wildlife filmmaker Ashwika Kapur, sets out on a deeply personal quest to uncover the roots of an illegal wildlife hunting festival in the forests of her home in Bengal where thousands of protected animals are massacred every year. She discovers that children as young as three are engaged in this assault against wildlife. Ash teams up with conservationist Suvra Chatterjee, to inspire change in the hearts of children within these hunting communities. Catapults to Cameras has turned into an actual Conservation Project, impacting change for both the youth and the wildlife of Bengal and is now officially an ongoing program.

Bravo for taking on such an important issue. This documentary is beautifully shot and beautifully narrated. We really are able to grasp the severity of the situation and join Ash in celebrating her small victories, changing the mindset of one child at a time.

The film's message is about the importance of conservation. Be aware that there are images of killing animals and dead animals. It is not glorified, but it is disturbing.

I give Catapults to Cameras 4.5 out of 5 stars and recommend it for ages 8 to 18. By Julie S., KIDS FIRST!
