In Catapults to Cameras, Kolkata-born wildlife filmmaker Ashwika Kapur sets out on a deeply personal quest to uncover the roots of an illegal wildlife hunting festival in the forests of her home state West Bengal. Each year, thousands of protected animals are massacred here in an illegal blood sport. As Ashwika sets out to find answers, she uncovers a heart-breaking truth: children as young as three are handed catapults as weapons in this assault against wildlife. Ashwika teams up with conservationist Suvra Chatterjee from Human & Environment Alliance League (Heal), an organisation that has been working with the local community for over a decade, to inspire change in the hearts of children within these hunting communities. The film follows the journey of five children who eventually become conservation ambassadors. It captures their joy, their growth, and the transformative potential of nature education. Catapults to Cameras is a one-of-a-kind format that has gone on to have an actual, tangible impact on the ground. In an inspiring journey beyond the screen, Catapults to Cameras has turned into an actual Conservation Project, impacting change for both the youth and the wildlife of Bengal. What originated as a deeply personal film and a small yet passionate experiment, is now officially an ongoing programme that is quantifiably expanding every month.
