Skater Girl

London-based Indian British advertising executive Jessica (Amy Maghera) has traveled to a rural Indian village to discover her roots in SKATER GIRL. There, she meets Prerna (Rachel Saanchita Gupta), a teenager who doesn't seem to know her own age and is often kept by her father out of school in order to help with chores. Jessica takes a special liking to Prerna and buys her the new uniform for school, which her family couldn't afford. When Prerna's brother Ankush (Shafin Patetl) and friends show up with makeshift skateboards and other toys made from scraps, Jessica has an idea to introduce them to actual skateboarding. Together with her American friend Erick (Jonathan Readwin), who is in India teaching, she manages to buy the local kids skateboards and skate gear. For Prerna, the freedom and individual joy that comes from riding is completely new in her life. Jessica is inspired to look for land and funds to construct a skate park, not an easy task for a single woman in a rural area of India. Her efforts will change the children's lives and shift some of the long-held limitations of the local society.
