Still Photography, Documentation from a Site Shoot for Vinod Raja's recent film:
"The Hakki Pikkis are a free spirited nomadic tribe who began their wandering many generations ago from the North Western part of the Indian subcontinent. Over time, they settled in different states across the country.
They survived through trapping birds and hunting small game in the forests and selling them in the cities and towns along with lucky charms and trinkets. If the trap failed, begging was their best bet!
Exiled from the forest, reviled by the city, their traditional ways of life outlawed, the Hakki Pikkis share their stories of wit and survival in the film."
