Manish is an athletic street dancer from India, whose working-class parents are depending on their only son for support. When he accidentally walks into a dance school and encounters Yehuda, a curmudgeonly 75-year-old ballet master, a passion ignites within him.
Despite all odds, he is determined to make it professionally. Together, this unlikely duo embarks on a journey that transforms both of their lives.
From the streets of Mumbai to the stages of New York, "Call Me Dancer" is a story of perseverance, rebellion, ageism, family, culture, and an unlikely friendship — filmed over five-years in India, USA, U.K., and Israel.
"Call Me Dancer" will make you want to jump up from your seat and, yes, dance!
Filmmakers, Pip Gilmour and Leslie Shampaine, will participate in a pre-screening Q&A discussion with attendees.
