Arkestra unveils the exploitation of young dancers in Bihar, India, where children like Niraj(10) and Bulbul(12) perform in travelling orchestras for survival. This documentary series captures their vibrant yet gruelling lives—dancing under neon lights, enduring leering crowds, and navigating abuse from police and politicians. Through raw, unfiltered images, it exposes the harsh realities of child labour and societal neglect in rural India. Niraj & Bulbul, forced by their families into exploitative performances, reveal child labour's harsh reality.
