Announcing Acting Like a Thief! Now available as a free BitTorrent download or, for a $50 donation, as a DVD.

Acting Like a Thief is a short film about the Budhan Theatre of Chharanagar. Starting with playwright Dakxin Bajrange discussing his arrest , the film brings us inside the lives of a dedicated group of young actors and their families as they discuss what it means to be a “born criminal” and how theater changed their lives.

More to Come!

Although we are releasing it as a self-contained movie, Acting Like a Thief is a preview of a larger project: Hooch and Hamlet in Chharanagar. We are raising funds to go back to India and film more so that we can get this story out to a wider audience.

If you like Acting Like a Thief, please help support Hooch and Hamlet in Chharanagar.

Take a look at this video (via onegoodmove, and thank your Chris T.). Since the government wants to preserve “our freedoms and our way of life,” maybe they should listen to the “people” regarding where those threats are coming from. I am scared!
