Hemanth Subramaniam India
Money for Nothing... chips for free
Cheap labour and its very real cost.
Millions of dollars of foreign investment are solicited to the country because cheap labour has become India's ‘Unique Selling Point’. But at what cost? This is the story of a farmer who uses an archaic mode of transport, the cycle-rickshaw. He powers the vehicle with his sweat in the sweltering heat to sell his potatoes to a dealer. But what does he get in return?

Hemanth Subramaniam
For this artist, the motivation has always been quite simple; to tell a story. This deep desire to thrash out a narrative and to build a cogent argument has taken him across various mediums, in various capacities - from a newspaper reporter, to an assistant director for soaps and documentaries, from a copy-editor to a rundown producer in television news channels. But nothing is more satisfying for this artist than filmmaking.
Currently Hemanth is working as the features correspondent for INX News channel in India.
