    Education does not define casteism...

    A documentary based on a true story that follows 5 Daughters of Destiny - from so-called Dalit caste and their struggles and passions for education..the story develops at shanti Bhavan founded by an NRI Mr Abraham.. beautifully shot with 'fly on the wall' camera .. It does a splendid job of conveying a sense of both place and dichotomy of place.. Reminds me of my experience at 'footpath Shala' at Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India...

    My eyes welled up

    Education is an important tool for any country to lift her people out of proverty but what Dr. George is what doing can be compared to likes of Mother Theresa. So unselfish in his approach and vision to lift people out of proverty, inequality, and patriarchal society system totally commendable. I am an atheist, I don't believe in miracle or blessing, but what Shanti Bhavan to our society is beyond definition of God stature.

    Talking about the mini-series, story of Shanti Bhavan told thru life of Dr. George, his teachers and children. As I navigate through episode, my eyes welled up and throat crackle. Wish continuing success to Shanti Bhavan.

    Inspiring and powerful film!

    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!

    Awesome documentary, inspiring story.

    Amazing, inspiring and selfless work done by Abraham George, his family and Shanti Bhavan volunteers. The documentary is very interesting and shot very well. The english of the kids is so good and they are so positive and very matured thinking, hats off to the teachers who have been imbibing these qualities in them 🙏🙏. The kids are so cute and so responsible.

    Thanks to Abraham and all the contributors of this wonderful school for poor families, may God bless them and all the kids abundantly with happiness, good health and success 🙏🙏🙏 Thanks to Netflix too 🙏🙏

    Great piece with an important message to everyone of us

    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.
