Shivani

NEW DOCS

Three-year-old Dolly Shivani is an archery prodigy. Her parents fervently believe this is because she is a reincarnation of her dead brother, Lenin, a champion archer who dreamed of bringing an Olympic medal to India. At an age when many children struggle to eat with a spoon, the preternaturally gifted Dolly wins one archery competition after another. You may scoff, but her ability with the bow and arrow at such a tender age hints at uncanny origins. LB
