The Ministry of External Affairs and Information & Broadcasting has selected Vibha Bakshi’s National Award-winning documentary Son Rise to represent India at the Festival of Feature and Television Films of the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Member States in Dushanbe, Tajikistan. Dushanbe will host the film festival presenting feature films and documentaries from eight SCO member nations, four observer states, and six dialogue partner states of the Shanghai Corporation Organisation. Commenting on the selection, Vibha Bakshi stated in a press statement, “I am honored that the Ministry of External Affairs has selected Son Rise to represent India at the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation summit. The alarming increase in violence against women during the pandemic has created the urgent and important need to address this ‘shadow’ pandemic. By showcasing heroes from the film, Son Rise has transformed into a movement to unite our global civilizations and encourage more men to become an integral part of the movement for a safer and more gender-equal world”.More Related News
