#Mumbai’s fishing community is being destroyed.

#Mumbai’s fishing community is being destroyed.

Development projects and concrete structures are increasingly encroaching on lands that have been occupied by the fishing community (known as Kolis) since before Independence.

Yet, people who have been elected to represent them are merely being witness to injustice, and in some cases, being party to it.

What is the future of the Kolis in Mumbai?

People in #India take it that once the girl is married, she does not belong to her family anymore. All her responsibilities and duties are towards her husband's family first and her own family come secondary.

This film 'She Is Married Not Dead' documents the life of such women who fought this well-accepted notion and tried to change it...

#Woman - A film about how unsafe women across the country feel about the crimes committed against them, how there isn't an agency or institution that actively works to empower them.

The film isn't limited to urban or rural areas as discrimination against #women is rampant across regions.

Rather it shows that women, despite being an important part of our society are still ignored and uncared for.

#Avalokanam is the story of two village dwellers who have spent their entire life growing up in their native village and have seen it change. 🏡

How farming practices and climate has changed over the decades. How living a simple life and contentment are rare values now and everyone chases materialistic pleasures.
