The Other Side presents Break The Branch
BREAK THE BRANCH SYNOPSIS
Break the Branch is a lyrical, ethereal portrait of a rural Indian girls school in lush, sensuous color. The film takes us to the village of Anupshahr, where one school challenges a community that does not believe in the education and independence of women. We meet several teachers and students who have used the school as a means for carving out a fulfilling life for themselves. The stories are woven together poetically, deviating from traditional narrative form. The grander goal is to humanize the struggles of women in India by showcasing their idiosyncratic qualities, rather than telling their stories in broad strokes.
THE OTHER SIDE INTERCULTURAL THEATRE
We create a cross-cultural exchange of dramatic storytelling amongst girls which supports their common experience, inspires leadership, and develops community.
Through drama exchange girls become invested in friendships created and stand up for themselves and each other.
Like pen pals. But with theatre.
