Film / Sub-culture / Series
Slumgods Pt 1 [ 2011 ]
Slumgods was a two-part feature on the B-Boying scene in New Delhi in 2011, being nurtured by a not-for-profit organization in Khirkee village called Tiny Drops hip hop community. The center worked with at-risk children and enabled skill and personality building through the elements of hip hop like Beatboxing, B-Boying, and Rap music. Tiny Drops provided a safe haven for children who were exposed to extremely harsh living conditions from an early age and gave them a positive outlet to put their mind and energy into. The space catered to youth between 8-18 years, and helped develop a solid foundation in the art forms. The center was led by Netarpal 'Heera' Singh who mentored the children and was a prominent name in the Indian B-boying scene. He also set up a similar program in Dharavi in Mumbai which went on to become the Slumgods foundation of Dharavi.
