Kolkata-born wildlife filmmaker Ashwika Kapur travels to rural Bengal to investigate an illegal wildlife hunting festival where children as young as three wield catapults. In a transformative experiment, she replaces their weapons with cameras. Five children—from hunters to wildlife documentarians—use photography to reshape their relationship with nature, sparking a grassroots conservation movement across their villages.
