Healing with HOPE- Special Screening of Award Winning Films
HEALING WITH HOPE 2018~ IT'S TIME TO PUT OUR WORDS INTO ACTION
ATTEND AN EVENING OF AWARD-WINNING FILMS AND LIVE Q&A WITH THE CREW AND HELP A TRAUMA SURVIVOR AT THE LAEMMLE THEATERS
100% OF FUNDS DONATED WILL BE HANDED TO THE SURVIVOR ON THE SAME DAY IN FRONT OF THE AUDIENCE AND CELEBRITIES
Women Prayed & Preyed Upon Director: Kankana Chakraborty
An intense 30-minute docu-drama that spotlights violence against women. Ironically in a country where men PRAY to GODDESSES (Maa Durga, Maa Kali among others), why do they also PREY upon women? The subject tackled is a contradiction and paradox that leaves us perplexed when faced with reality.
The victims wanted to share their horrific experiences, but they were scared to be in front of the camera. The award winning docu-drama features various Indian film industry legends.
Sakhi ~ (FRIEND) Director: Annu kapil
A young girl sets on a journey of self-discovery and search for identity only to find herself caught in the vicious world of trafficking. Very profound movie with known theater artists. (21 minutes)
Seatbelt: Micro short- Directed by Sukrut Teni (5 minutes)
About the organization:
HOPE B~Lit, a global non-profit championing the cause of women and children of the world, recently launched “HOPE Council”, a collective of remarkable women who share a unanimous vision – engaging, enlightening and entertaining people with the power of storytelling. The stories, based on real incidents, shed a light on various issues faced by women and children. The HOPE Council will lend a voice to the survivors by bringing their stories to a global stage.
On the heels of launching “Voices UnHeard”, the production wing of HOPE B~Lit, the nonprofit’s films have reached the coveted Cannes Films Festival and won multiple awards including the United Nations Peace Award. As the name suggests, the wing aims to lend a voice to all brave and courageous survivors to illuminate social causes surrounding children and women globally.
On November 15, HOPE B~Lit will present “Healing with Hope”, an event marking HOPE Council’s first collaboration by showcasing four critically acclaimed short films. All proceeds from ticket sales will be given away to a rape trauma survivor at the event. We believe in movies and then an immediate call to action...lets put our words to ACTION.
With the #Metoo movement still fresh and relevant, United Nations Peace Award winning film “Women Prayed & Preyed Upon” is befittingly the chosen as the highlight. The event will also showcase a private screening of “Sakhi” ahead of its premiere. Audiences will have the opportunity to interact with the directors of the films and hear the courageous story of a rape trauma survivor.
The highlight is that the money raised that night will be presented there and then to the survivor in front audience that attends the event. Thank you in advance for your support. Look forward to seeing you there.
