/> After Superstar which was received well by the more-discerning section of the movie-going public, Rohit Jugraj has put his conscience on test.

His next film is on the sensitive issue of child abuse.

Says the director, "This is something I wanted to do for a long time. It's not just about one child. My film explores various kinds of child abuse, some of which may not even seem like abuse to the offender.

I've gone into psychological and physical abuse, the psyche of the adult who abuses a child and the trauma confussion and darkness that the child faces after being abused."

Rohit isn't just offering the harrowing problem, "I've also discussed ways to give the child strength and courage to cope with the trauma and to be healed and whole again without scars of the incident plaguing the child through his or her life.

My thirty-minute film is basically about hope. It isn't a commercial venture. It's for an international NGO. I'd describe it as a docu-drama."

Interestingly Rohit has shot in a unique format. "The format is called 'dogme'. I used nine cameras.

You may ask me why so much effort in a film that will finally be seen by a restricted non-commercial audience.

Well...it was for my own satisfaction. And I've given it a poetic fairytale name Chand Pe Baithi Dadimaa because I believe our children's innocence and their innate belief in a magical healing world has to be preserved. For that child abuse has to be stopped."
