  India's New Beginnings powerfully portrays the oppression and exploitation of India's 250 million untouchables. For centuries the Dalits have lived impoverished lives shunned by the upper castes and treated as though they are less than human. But now new hope and opportunity are emerging for this underclass community. India's New Beginnings explores the work of the Operation Mercy Charitable Company (OMCC). OMCC's whole life approach to the care of the Dalits is as inspiring as it is strategic and practical. With a goal to establish 1 000 Dalit Education and Emancipation Centres across India their extraordinary work seeks to lift the Dalits out of poverty injustice and modern day slavery. India's New Beginnings plays for 79 minutes with a main feature length of 35 minutes. There are three extra in-depth interviews a trailer and other bonus elements. The selection menu enables shorter sections to be shown on their own as a taster for the main film or for small groups study or discussion purposes. India's New Beginnings is narrated by Russell Boulter (The Bill Casualty ) and directed by Michael Lawson (India's Broken People India's Hidden Slavery)

  The situation in India of the Untouchables known now as the Dalits is a disgrace in the modern world. This is a people who have been systematically oppressed and persecuted for 3 000 years and yet today over 200 million so called 'Untouchables' are still subject to extreme poverty discrimination and aggression. These three films about the Dalits were all researched and filmed in India. Two of them portray everyday life of Dalits in Villages. They reflect the inspiring work of OM India and others who are working to provide previously unheard of educational opportunities for Dalit young people. Many in India believe this initiative of education in English provided in a spiritual framework will promote a new freedom for the Dalits.
