Beyond All Boundaries (2013)
The Extraordinary Ordinary

Beyond All Boundaries will move you, even if you've never watched a single minute of cricket.
Jain reveals an India not known to most westerners. On its face, Jain's India looks poor, abusive and sexist. Entire families are crammed into small rooms with no electricity and little to eat. Women and children are abused by their own parents and family members. Oppression and poverty are ubiquitous. But, so is cricket.
Jain shows us that in India, hope springs eternal, and cricket is its muse. The beauty of the film is to be found in seemingly ordinary people living extraordinary lives. With the World Cup of Cricket serving as his backdrop, Jain lays bare the triumph of hope over suffering. This is the real India.
