Transplant coordinators’ tireless efforts- coordination with multiple stakeholders, and counselling the grieving family makes them no less than a hero; a hero who works in silence; an unsung hero. From the Organ recipient’s side, they are often perceived as God, while on the contrary from the Donor family’s side, they are often looked down upon, being called like a Vulture, metaphorically who picks up the remains off the dead. The film is an effort to humanise them, hence the title.

As the idea to make a film around Organ Donation in itself is heavy and grievous, I tried to handle it in utmost delicacy while also trying to balance it with showing the ground reality around the subject, and the dogmas associated with it. I shot this film during the second wave of Covid in India, as a single person crew, on a Sony Handycam, to minimise the effect of my presence in the hospital premises and counselling sessions, while also capturing it in the most honest sense.
