Background 5th Dr. A P J Abdul Kalam International Socio-Legal Film Making Competition 2021
There are various issues in society covering various aspects of it. These issues involve different social and legal aspects of it. We come across many literatures i.e. articles, policy papers, commentaries, documentaries, short films etc. touching these issues. Most impactful out of these all is visual representation of an issue. Impact of this lasts for long in our memory compared to other mediums. Looking at this, ProBono India launched a unique competition of making short film on Socio-Legal issues in year 2017.
