Laxmi Nishad and her 14 of her fellow classmates from Prerna Girls School, part of the Study Hall Foundation Laxmi, got a chance to create one minute video on their lives.

"My father was a compulsive drinker and he refused to give us any money or even look after us after our mother died. At 13, I had to work as a housemaid and was responsible for my 11-month-old sister and the rest of the family. I wanted to tell people my story," says Laxmi.

Laxmi's classmate, 18-year-old Preeti Verma, felt very strongly about the practice of dowry. Many families, says Preeti, find it difficult to get their daughters married because of   dowry. Through her film 'Dowry,' Preeti got a chance to share her views that women are more valuable than the dowry they bring.
