Welcome to the remarkable story of Future Hope, a unique school for street and slum children in Kolkata, India, transforming lives on a daily basis! Kids arrive with a history of unimaginable hardship; most severely malnourished, many seriously abused. Through education, mentoring and sport, they are given opportunity and hope. More than three decades of on-the-ground humanitarian work has grown Future Hope into a thriving school for more than 350 children who, invariably, will leave with bright futures. But it hasn't been easy. From humble beginnings in the late 1980s, Future Hope has dealt with two evictions, runaway kids and a collection of intertwined mishaps which changed one man's life. When local banker Tim Grandage befriended street kids outside his branch in 1987, little did he know what was about to happen! What a story he has to tell. Future Hope's ambitious expansion plan, within a mango orchard north east of the city, aims to help even more children over a wider area. Can the school realise its dream? Mystery characters start to emerge, what's their role in the unfolding drama? This immersive documentary series, drenched in the sounds of one of the great cities of the world, is made by award-winning producers and narrated by a former Future Hope student; Nikhat Khatun. She takes us on an extraordinary ride! Subscribe now for the eight-part documentary series with bonus episodes and interviews to follow. For further information, please visit www.futurehope.net.
