Not many people know Jisshu Sengupta has lent his voice to ‘

Amoli

: Priceless’ — India’s first digital

documentary

on commercial

sexual exploitation

of children produced by Culture Machine.

The docu, released in 2019, exposes the shocking truth about child sexual exploitation. Directed by acclaimed documentary filmmakers Jasmine Kaur Roy, who is also a National Award winner and Avinash Roy, with music by Tajdar Junaid and voiceover in Bengali by Jisshu, this 30-minute film’s goal is to become a topic of conversation among the general public by building a sense of urgency. The documentary film has been strung together through stories of survivors who have been through the horrors of commercial sexual exploitation.

Through ‘Amoli: Priceless’, the makers attempted to wake up the nation by addressing the issue starkly and to wean people out of their slumber to realize what is happening to children around us, in our own neighborhood.
