Anuja

Directed by Adam J. Graves23m2024

When a brilliant nine-year-old working in a sweatshop gets a chance to attend school, she must make a difficult choice for her and her sister's future.

Our read: Anuja (2024) reads as a sombre, steady, grounded drama entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, tender in temperature, redemptive in outlook.
