THREADS is an intimate portrait of 85 –year old Bengali artist, Surayia Rahman, who transforms the quilt-work tradition of Kantha to create possibilities for a better life for her family and hundreds of destitute mothers in Bangladesh. Over three decades, as their art becomes prized possessions of connoisseurs around the worlds, Surayia Rahman and the artisans overcome their hardships with needle and thread, stich by stich. THREADS takes us on a journey into the heart of an artist and illuminates an unconventional path to dignity and independence.
