A Short Documentary on SIF Movement made in to the Top 60 for Screening
at "Yes! I am the change Film Festival" at Nehru Centre. Screening was
done on 3rd October and MENS RIGHTS were mentioned by many speakers in
their speech after the Screening along with 9 other documentaries on
other Topic.
Special Thanks to our Director Jaysh Gopi and his team members Tony Baker and his wife. And very Special Thanks to our Narasimha 'Amit Deshpande' for initiating and registering our group for this Competition. Also Thanks to all participants Chandan, Tariq, Bhakti, Nitin and Special thanks again to Hussain for co-ordinating apart from participating.
This documentary competition had a rule of understanding, shooting and presenting in 101 hours after randomly linking the Directors with NGOs. As a rule no Participating Documentary can go public till the competition is on hence the link is shared now after screening.
The audience was stunned after watching this documentary suddenly after 5 documentaries on totally very popular topics like gifting a smile and conserving nature etc. There was a PIN DROP silence as i am sure all must be remembering 1 victim in their circle. Slowly we started clapping and it reached a crescendo.
At the end we were given a chance to address the audience. and the best part is the Director Confessed that he was a feminist before he met us. What he missed was the major chunk of activists who were busy at National Meet on 15, 16, 17 August 2013 at Nagpur. We told the audience about our meetings PAN india in parks and Suicide Stats.
For a CHANGE in this event the Audience Overwhelmingly Identified and accepted this ISSUE.
The organiser Mr Madhusudan Aggarwal Hugged me when I handed him Mens Day Book and he told me that he was happy to know that such a movement is existing.
Yes I remember those days of 2005-6 and now there has been a CHANGE in people towards this problem.
And this blog along with others used to quote Bapu telling to Be the Change that ones wishes to see in the world.
Still a Long Way to Go, But YES we have come a long way.
Still a Long Way to Go, But YES we have come a long way.
Every one of us can contribute to the movement in small and unique ways, so let's not restrict ourselves to big-ticket events alone... documentaries like this can be made at almost zero cost, don't worry about your ability to direct or your lack of technical prowess... what we have is a lot of untold stories and the audience is looking for just that.... some new story to be swayed by,... to be inspired by(they are sick and tired of hackneyed tear-jerkers and other staple stuff)

Dear Jinesh i saw the episode on life ok and googled your name and found this link.being a woman myself i feel It is a shame as women like her exist who misuses laws made for victimised indian women. The reason i am writing is because i have a family friend who is going through similar experiences as shown in 'INDIA FIGHTS BACK' due to his wife. She physically and mentally abuses her husband. We live in pune and she constantly doubts her husband and humiliates him infront of neighbours day and night. He has even recorded the verbal abuses from his wife on mobile for his evidence. Can you please guide on what can be done to avoid any accidents or mishappenings in future. It is an arranged marriage and she claims to be an MBA graduate however her language and behaviour is completely unacceptable.
