Toughened by Life (2020) is a commissioned feature-length documentary for SPJ Sadhana School, Bombay.

The film follows the lives of three students with autism & down syndrome. It explores their views on love and friendship, while also offering an honest look at the fears carers hold about their children’s lives when they are no longer around.

The film is also a homage to the support provided by the institution, highlighting the lack of schools for children with special needs in India and the vital role spaces like SPJ Sadhana play in their lives.
