All about Buzz
Eric shared his experience and said, "I never felt as if I was a mere subject of a documentary around Maahir and his crew. They seemed like co-travellers who had the greatest respect for my origin story. They also showed great sensitivity in how they responded to the challenges I have grappled with to come this far."
He further said, "this documentary is however not just about me and my journey. It is also about the transformative power of art and how it can not only heal us but also help us transcend pain, trauma and social barriers. Maahir has also done complete justice to the idea that tattoos facilitate self-expression in a really intimate and personal manner. "
Anil Kapoor who produced the documentary, shared his thoughts and said, " This is a very inspiring story about a young boy who battled inconceivable odds to ink his destiny and I have deep respect for any young person who dares to defy their circumstances to realise their dreams. Eric's story is relatable and yet so unique. Maahir has done a fantastic job of capturing Eric’s difficult childhood, his artistic awakening, and his eventual rise to fame. The way he has woven together the different threads of his life is masterful. It's an unbelievable tale but with so much heart and grit that it feels incredibly fresh and authentic."
