Official Selection at Hot Docs Canadian International Documentary Festival. Nominated for Best Director and Best Feature at the Midwest Independent Film Festival. Winner of the Human Spirit Award at the Nashville Film Festival..

"One of the great attributes of THE STARFISH THROWERS is that the fly-on-the-wall style of filmmaking allows for Krishnan a...nd the rest to tell their own stories with all the passion, hurt, and hope that lives deep inside them." - Indra Arriaga, The Anchorage Press
