At times it's stingingly tough to watch, but a privilege to hear these women tell their stories in their own clear-eyed words.

Even When I Fall is a fascinating film which shines the light on a cruel trade.

Screen International

Even When I Fall is understated and unobtrusive, allowing us to share intimate moments in the rooftop conversations between Saraswoti and Sheetal and times when they trade stories with other girls rescued from Indian circuses.

An incredibly inspiring story about two young women who come back from dehumanizing experiences to advocate for change. A film of great grace, dignity, beauty, and power.

This film is so sublime that it takes you to places you don't expect. it is so much more than a 'triumph over adversity' story. It transports you to a world that slowly draws you in and holds you to the end. hopeful and uplifting - yes, without the sugar coating. Life continues to be a challenge for these young women and their communities. Their story transcends the tears to highlight their learning, acceptance, growth, adventure and, ultimately, joy. Beautifully crafted with a score to match the gorgeous cinematography. Go see it!
