Amar is an "observational documentary" filmed by Andrew Hinton. Hinton follows Amar, a fourteen year old Indian boy who provides for him family. The film shows a day in Amar's daily life. Amar wakes up at 3:58 am to go do his first job as a paper boy. After Amar finishes delivering papers he heads to his second job selling remote controls. By the time it's 2 o'clock Amar goes home to get ready to go to school. After school Amar goes back to his job selling remotes. When Amar gets home everyone is already asleep. The film ends with Amar sitting at home, doing his homework with a lightbulb.
In the film you can see how dedicated Amar is to help out his family and get his education. Most kids have great opportunity's to do so. And they don't take advantage of it because things usually get handed to them easily. They don't realize the struggle kids like Amar go through everyday hoping to get half of what they have.
The film is important because it shows that no mater what situation you are in when you really want something you strive for it. That's exactly what Amar is doing. When i saw this video it changed my prospective of things. It made me think of how I should defiantly take advantage of how easy i can get an education and be whatever it is that I want to be.
