DAUGHTERS OF DESTINY
An education for India’s poor ‘untouchables’
Wonderful four-part documentary about the power of education to transform lives. The Shanti Bhavan school takes children from India’s lowest socio-economic class – the so-called ‘untouchables’ – and gives them an excellent education. Students who might otherwise have not gone to school at all have become medics, scientists and engineers. The series follows five female pupils of different ages and returns to them over a period of seven years to see how they are faring. Available now
