Ganesh, Boy Wonder

The documentary tells the story of Krishna and Jayamma, a working-class Indian couple who prayed to Ganesh for a son. Their hopes were fulfilled when Ganesh was born, looking like the elephant-headed deity. After years of despair regarding medical help, an unexpected encounter leads to a television feature that changes everything for the family.

As the public learns about Ganesh's condition, the film highlights the response from India's affluent society and a Canadian surgeon, Dr. Sanjeev Kaila, who offers to help. The narrative captures themes of love, faith, and hope, illustrating how one family’s struggles resonate with broader societal issues. Srinivas Krishna makes his documentary debut with this compelling story.
