The following video is a short film from Indian director Navin Kumar. I didn't expect it to be an uplifting clip, but I had no clue exactly how much this two-minute video would move me.
Chalk is a beautiful, poignant, and true story of what one man experienced in Iraq during wartime. It is not a personal account. Instead, it speaks for someone whose cries cannot be heard: a young boy.
At first glance, the child appears normal. He looks healthy, he is dressed properly, and he is in school. However, at recess, it becomes clear the little one is very lonely, and the truth is more heartbreaking than you'd expect.
When a school aide sees the little boy pick up a piece of chalk, he walks over to check on him. What he finds left me speechless. The little boy drew a picture of his mother.
He may look normal, but what this orphan needs is to be loved. After all, don't we all?
