In a world rapidly being torn asunder by violence, racism and suspicion, there is a growing despondence and a feeling that almost all of humanity is at cross purposes, and most of it at war. There is a dire need for reassurance that not all is lost, that the fundamental goodness of humanity is still intact. There need to be more love stories than revenge dramas, more stories of real life heroes than superhero sagas. There need to be more stories that reinforce our faith in each other rather than a mythical messiah who might never arrive to save us. A Billion Colour Story is one such story. Hari is a curious and sensitive Mumbai pre-teen from an artistic, mixed heritage home. His Hindu mother and Muslim father share an unwavering faith in the ideal of India. When his father’s faith is shaken, Hari vows to restore it as only a modern kid can.
