CAM-ON is an amateur film group made of sexual workers from Calcutta and their children. In the real setting of slums, they make short films based on their own, often painful, experiences and then post them online. At present, the group is working on their first feature film, which means a great deal for them, and they want to show it to the residents of the district. The camera captures the movie in the making. In the country where cinema is adored, it does not serve as an escape from reality. For the least privileged people, it also denotes creativity and agency, even a way of self-therapy.
