Call Me Dancer

MKE Film Festival

 

Expected to attend Q&A Following 4/29 4:15 PM Screening: Leslie Shampaine (director, producer), Manish Chawhan (participant)

Manish is a young and talented street dancer who struggles against his parents' insistence that he follow a traditional path. When he accidentally walks into an inner-city dance school and encounters a curmudgeonly 70-year-old Israeli ballet master, a hunger develops within. Ambitious and passionate, Manish is determined to make it as a professional dancer, but the odds are stacked against him—a true-life fairytale from the streets of Mumbai to the stages of New York.
