Recasting Selves is this intriguing documentary that dives into the lives of Dalit and Adivasi students at CREST in Kozhikode. You really feel the atmosphere of the campus, which is both supportive and charged with a sense of purpose. The pacing is steady, allowing for real moments of reflection, especially as these students undergo 'soft skills' training to navigate a rapidly changing Indian job market. It’s interesting how the film doesn't shy away from the political undertones—these aren't just students, they're individuals grappling with identity and systemic barriers. The cinematography captures the campus life beautifully, while the participants' performances are genuine and heartfelt, making it a distinct piece of documentary filmmaking that really draws you in.
