Ojhal
Cloaked in Red Dust
India is one of the world's biggest producers of hand-moulded bricks, relying on millions of migrant workers. Most of them remain unseen. As the industry faces intense pressure to reduce emissions, these workers must not be forgotten.
This is a powerful immersive short film, uniquely captured and narrated by the brick kiln workers themselves.
