After the first meeting and the rough plan of a child labor documentary, Me and Ahmed decided to start developing the script more.
I wrote a narration for the documentary and Ahmed decided to write some questions that we might ask a child.
This was the narration I wrote :
Most of the population comprises those daily wagers who are earning their living through very hard work. When you move around the city, you find many places where young boys are either working in workshops or serving in different small restaurants. These are the boys who ideally should have been in schools during these hours, but the bitter reality is that people have realized that even if they educate their children, Their children would not find a respectable place in society because of unemployment and lack of opportunity in third world countries. They believe that by sending their children to workshops at a young age, they make them learn to live in reality and face the potential odds which await them in coming times. There is no doubt that education enlightens a person and therefore enlightens the society But we can not ignore the fact that self made people have to face the real world after entering a certain phase in life where they find that they never learnt to face life. The teachers who teach in real life are different, the person finds that the life outside of school is unfair, tough and cruel. Why not learn realities from the beginning?
*this later made it into the final script*
