Film Description



India: A New Life was produced for PBS’ Frontline World. It profiles Father Thomas Koshy, a a Catholic Salesian priest, who has dedicated his life to rescuing street children in Vijayawada, India.

Using an innovative approach to draw children into shelter and care, Father Koshy employs former street kids as part of the rehabilitation process. These peer workers use their own intimate knowledge of the streets to reach out.

Father Koshy and his team have helped rescue thousands of children and given them a new life—a life where they can realize their dreams.
