Rakesh is a young man, עם חלום גדול, and he’s gaining the skills to do it all. Through the power of cooking, Rakesh is using what he learned from a special organization and sharing his entrepreneurial skills with others.
מתכון לשגשוג was written and directed by Christopher Scott Carpenter. It is the story of a young man called Rakesh who takes his cooking skills to the next level, thanks to an organization called Dream A Dream. Dream A Dream is an NGO based in Jayanagar, a neighborhood located in the city of Bengaluru in Karnataka, India. Its mission is to help develop valuable life skills for people who come from less fortunate backgrounds. Rakesh is one of the many people Dream A Dream has supported since their founding in 1999. Rakesh’s story is one of hardship, קיים, and a passion to change his life for the better.
When his father suffered from a work related accident that left him unable to work and earn money for his wife and 5 יְלָדִים, Rakesh’s family had to find ways to create income. His mother sold flowers on the streets and in markets while Rakesh spent time cleaning tables at weddings and helping in the kitchen. It was here that Rakesh developed his love for cooking. בינתיים, he had also completed a degree in IT, hoping to find a job to support his family. It was not until he found Dream A Dream that Rakesh was able to do more with his passion for food. With Dream A Dream he developed technical, מקצועי, and cooking skills.
With the skills Rakesh has learned, he hopes to open his own store where he would sell chaat, a type of snack food that is served as hors d’oeuvres in India, Nepal, and other neighboring countries.
While this film does not further expand on the backstory of Rakesh’s family, it does serve as a good way for people to get familiar with the Dream A Dream organization. It could have benefited from a better explanation of some of the dishes that Rakeesh enjoys making such as chaat and pani puri. I also think audiences would have liked to know more about Rakesh’s family,including what happened to his father and how his siblings contributed.
לסיכום, this was an enjoyable and informative short film. It was very interesting to learn about Dream A Dream and what they do as well as learn about food from India. אני נותן את הסרט הזה 3 מתוך 5 stars for its message, כַּתָבָה, and subject matter.
