The Invisible Visible trailer: Kireet Khurana’s movie appeals for the eradication of anti-beggary laws

Filmmaker Kireet Khurana has been making films and documentaries on various social issues. His latest documentary, The Invisible Visible, throws light on the anti-beggary law that is in force in various states in India. 

The Bombay Prevention of Begging Act 1959 empowers the authorities to punish or imprison any individual if he or she is found begging. An expert is heard saying in the film, “The law makes poverty a crime.”

The film urges the authorities to repeal this law. 

The trailer of the movie shows that the makers have infiltrated the inhuman places where the homeless people of India live. The underprivileged speak their heart out in the film to describe the apathy they experience. 

The film also tries to expose how children are raped and sexually abused in government-run shelter homes, the place where they are supposed to find solace.

The Invisible Visible also provides hope by minutely following the journey of the renowned social worker Tarique Mohammad of the Koshish Foundation. He has been fighting for the rights of beggars and homeless individuals while spreading awareness about the ‘draconian’ law. 

The film also presents the views of various experts who have been working for the same cause.
