N1  - A powerful and poignant docu-drama, Ek tha Bachpan reveals the callousness of a juvenile justice system that strips a child off his innocence and render him defenceless before the law.

Inside the observation home, where the conditions are horrific, he finds solace in a friendship that cannot withstand the cruelty of the caretakers. Victims of stigma, children in conflict with the law are treated with indifference and neglect, and are often subject to physical and sexual abuse. Though the law provides for speedy trials, in reality children are detained without evidence, without bail and without adequate legal representation. Ek Tha Bachpan aims to raise awerness and revitalise the coampaign around the juvenile justice Act 2000, whose provisions are still far from being implemented
