Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })Kavi is a 2009 short film (19 minutes) from India directed by Gregg Helvey.Kavi is a boy of maybe ten years of age, living somewhere in Maharashtra. He shares one tiny, dirty room with his parents. All three perform back-breaking labor fashioning mud into bricks which are then baked in a kiln. Eventually it becomes clear that Kavi and his family are slaves, although Kavi does not realize this and takes pride in being the overseer's "fastest worker". Eventually however, two social workers, conducting stealthy interviews in the trees that border the slave camp, talk to Kavi. The slavemaster's rage when confronting Kavi causes Kavi to realize his true situation.

All There in the Manual: It's a little unclear who the do-gooders attempting to free Kavi are. Police? Apparently not because they don't produce badges and they can't get the actual security people to take more a more active role during the climactic confrontation. Intrepid Reporters? The end credits answer this by identifying them as social workers.

Born into Slavery: Kavi's father has been trapped in the kiln for ten years and it appears that Kavi was born there, and has never left.

comment
Children Are Innocent: Kavi is a cheerful little boy who has no frame of reference and doesn't realize the dire situation he's in. The presence of uniform-clad upper-class children nearby who are going to school starts to clue him in, but it's not until his master beats him that true comprehension dawns.
