Daughters of Destiny Online

I really enjoyed watching the documentary. The movie shows different lives of Indian people and many sided from Indian society. Its beautiful to follow the thoughts of the young students and its inspiring how one person can create such a meaningful project. I really hope this will go on for a century and i wish them the best of luck.

A beautifully well-done film depicting the lives of 5 girls growing up at Shanti Bhavan Children's Project. A touchingly sweet and sometimes heartbreaking film, Daughters of Destiny breaks down barriers for women and girls around the world and will empower viewers to champion these causes. Definitely a must-see for anyone passionate about education, children, girl's rights, and equal opportunity!

This series took me completely by surprise. I stumbled across it by chance and it truly changed my life. So refreshing--upon a mostly superficial entertainment landscape comes this flash of genius.

Watch this show if you want any of the following: 1) to be inspired by individuals who have thoughtfully and intentionally set most of their lives aside to change the future of India; 2) be humbled by (and reminded of) the plight of those who are categorized as untouchables in India; or 3) be extremely impressed by the insightful writers of this show who have put a lot of skill and thought into how to best present their amazing subject matter to the Western world.

Thank you to all who were involved in the making of this remarkable series. I have recommended this show to all my friends and some of us are now watching it for our "book group," (yes, instead of reading a book . . . it's that good.)

Touching and Inspiring. Daughters of Destiny takes us on a transformative journey of 7 years of filming trough the life of students of Shanti Bhavan. The documentary series follows five girls, from their young student years at school, to adolescence to college graduates. What if the power of education could break the cycle of faith of hundreds of families..if not a whole caste? What if a chance to dream, could break them free, give young women a voice and a chance in life which otherwise they wouldn't get? The faith of Shanti Bhavan is in the hands of its graduates, of the students they brought up to becoming young working and successful adults. The families of these girls have been waiting courageously 17 years for their daughters to graduate, to be able to help them, and hundreds of others. Their stories will resonate with me for many years to come. - This is a well paced, beautifully shot documentary series. The writing, the storytelling and the opportunity to grow so close with the main characters is an absolute accomplishment! To my sisters in India, thank you for existing

I gave this such a high rating as I really want people to watch it. It is brilliantly made, never over the top or 'in your face', just beautifully put together. I love that it was made over many years, and I can imagine how difficult it must have been to get it right, with so much material.

The story will stir up all your emotions over the episodes and whatever state it leaves you, you will know that you have watched something pure and beautiful.

The 5 stars is for how the documentary was made. I give it a 5/5. It is honest, down to the bones, extremely detailed and as a viewer was happy to see people helping their kind. It is definitely a positive documentary to follow, no doubt about it. The children have been very co-operative to the documentary makers and I hope they made it well to support their family and Shanti Bhavan.

Now here is the downside, I am not against Christianity or any religion for that matter. But what I don't believe in is inclining to one religion can offer them better redemption which is what this movie tries to tell you subtly. The primary students chosen for the film all are Christians (there are scenes of worship) and they are ultimately coached and sent to Christian institutions(Could also be because the institution offers scholarship because they are Christians, So not going to judge here).

My problem is I appreciate good documentaries and it pisses me off when platforms like these are used to spread religion. If they do want to attract donors who are Christians then the filmmakers could have openly added it on the disclaimer instead of saying that this documentary does not side with any religion, which is just on contrary.

The bottomline is Shanti Bhavan - 10, Christianity advert - 0.
