Produced by National Award-filmmaker Anand Gandhi's Memesys Culture Lab and directed by photographer-writer Sooni Taraporevala, 'Yeh Ballet' follows two male ballet dancers: Amir, 15, and Manish, 21.

The boys don't let their marginalised backgrounds come in the way of their dream: to be part of American Ballet Theatre NYC.

 

The film catches the journey, from practising in the Mumbai local to waiting with their families for the leap to the US.
