Sindhutai Sapakal Biopic
From begging at a train station in India to raising over 1,400 children she earned one of the highest civilian awards in 2021. Considered by many the modern-day Mother Teresa and also won the Teresa Award in 2019. She also earned a doctorate degree in literature from DY Patil University.
The Indian Godmother, Sindhutai Sapkal is one of the most awarded and renowned humanitarians in the history of India.
The story of her life is unreal, riveting and awe-inspiring. Our feature/series is inspired by true events from her life and how she changes the lives of so many people she meets and especially all the orphans she takes under her wings.
Recreating the backdrop of 1960’s Indian villages, culture, and archaic traditions and transitioning to the harsh city streets will bring out the real essence of India at a time when our 20-year-old Sindhu is at the centre of our world. Her transformation will cover physical, psychological and spiritual breakthroughs. The stories of her adopted children will showcase the dichotomy of the haves and have-nots of Indian society and the breakthroughs of “slumdogs” after Sindhutai takes them in. Godmother will paint a colourful picture of a woman’s journey from rags to the most respected woman, the Mother of all Orphans.
Her epic journey, starts as a beggar in the streets of Pune, fighting for the underdog’s right to live and eventually being honoured by universities, celebrities, presidents and many prestigious platforms in India. At the centre of it all - is a story of a woman’s iron will and perseverance!
