Pritam Ne is a 45-minute documentary that intimately chronicles the lives of three women artisans at RaasLeela Textile in Ahmedabad. Through their hand-stitched embroidery, the film reveals how traditional craft becomes a canvas for personal stories of love, loss, and resilience. Dilshad Banu, a 56-year-old widow, transforms grief into remembrance by repeatedly embroidering her late husband’s initial. Jaya Ben, a single mother, expresses her affection and longing for her daughter through delicate embroidered scenes. Sumi Ben, the youngest artisan, turns her past hardships into a narrative of self-worth, agency, and empowerment. Beyond documenting textile work, Pritam Ne explores how craft can serve as a tool for healing, self-expression, and community building, illustrating the profound connections between creativity and personal transformation.
