Children are saving lives in the slums of Kolkata. Amlan Ganguly
doesn't rescue slum children; he empowers them to become change
agents, battling poverty and transforming their neighborhoods with
dramatic results. Filmed over the course of several years, The
Revolutionary Optimists follows Amlan and three of the children he
works with on an intimate journey through adolescence, as they
fight for the better future he encourages them to imagine is
deservedly theirs.
