I just backed this kickstarter on bringing back to Blu Ray Indian movies that are lesser known than their Bollywood counterparts. The first movie is Om-Dar-B-Dar https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Om-Dar-B-Dar

Absolutely fantastic time at @anirvan and @barnali ’s SF South Asian walking tour. Do not miss their tours. It is so well researched, well presented and you will leave feeling proud and hopeful which is necessary in these dark times. I was so inspired I registered for their Berkeley walking tour on Aug 17th!

Mohammed has been displaced 3 times, lost his brother to the war, and is now living in a tent with his family. He is the only person who is caring for them all.

`They can only pay for this in cash. The way this works is they transfer money to a money dealer or commission trader, who takes 45-50%.`

Hello folks! RTs will be appreciated. I thought there would be folks who would love to get some art in lieu of doing some good but it sounds like that Venn diagram is a sum total of 1 - me so far!
If you know people in your life who would fit this Venn diagram and expand it more, please share it with them! I will send this original art to anyone in USA who donates $20 to this fund raiser and sends me a screenshot!
