Three Threads
The Rann is a salt desert that stretches for miles across west Gujarat, India. It is here that Pachan Siju, a traditional handloom artisan lives and is determined to add his own color to the white landscape through his clothing brand, Three Threads. Being a Dalit and deemed untouchable by the higher caste communities, he cannot afford local exhibitions and dreams of finding funding opportunity in the U.S. This film weaves a story of the hopes and aspirations of an extraordinary artist.
Three Threads is Rohan Rao’s third short film. Three Threads premiered at the Workers Unite Film Festival in New York City. The Film was awarded the SocDoc Thesis Grant by The School of Visual Arts. Academy Award winner Ross Kauffman and Princess Grace awardee Amitabh Joshi are creative advisors on the film.
