The following passage is taken from Hart in Media:

"This documentary feature film Magic in our Hands will demonstrate the social value of puppetry by exploring the lives of inspired women puppeteers in one of the fastest growing economies in the world: India.

India celebrates long historical traditions of rod, shadow and string puppets and these puppet traditions are repositories of culture and history. Padmini Rangarajan, the first woman at the heart of this film, is from the historical city of Hyderabad. The film explores her personal story and interact in her daily life; learn puppet making and manipulation, incorporating different types of puppets, and address their varying production themes in their efforts to protect and promote the art of puppetry as intangible cultural heritage and as a platform for developing creativity". Post production work is in progress.

The attempt is to blend the values of ancient wisdom with time relevant plays, engaging with both traditional and contemporary artists whose work encourage people and children to use their imaginations to understand and empathize with a variety of situations, beliefs and views, addressing important, and often sensitive, global issues; such as: community education; child development; health awareness; women against conflict; environment and; human values, as depicted in the ancient texts of the Ramayana.

Puppetry crosses boundaries, it reflects the human spirit and can unite the world.
