MIB partners with Netflix to launch short video series on women trendsetters
By MYBRANDBOOK
The Ministry of information and broadcasting (MIB) and Netflix have collaborated to produce the first set of videos featuring seven women changemakers from across the country who share their experiences in breaking the glass ceiling.
These two-minute short films, known as “Azadi Ki Amrit Kahaniyan”, were shot in locations across the country and are narrated by renowned actor, Neena Gupta. The announcement was made as part of the celebration of Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav.
The seven changemakers include Poonam Nautiyal, Dr Tessy Thomas, Tanvi Jagadish and Aarohi Pandit. Poonam is a healthcare worker who walked miles across Bageshwar district in Uttarakhand to vaccinate everyone. Dr Tessy is the first woman scientist to head a missile project in India. Tanvi Jagdish is India's first competitive woman stand-up paddleboarder. Aarohi Pandit is the world's youngest and first woman pilot to cross the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean solo in a light-sport aircraft.
I&B minister Anurag Singh Thakur said, “Netflix will be producing twenty-five videos on themes including women empowerment, environment and sustainable development and other days of significance. Netflix will produce two-minute short films for the ministry which will be shared on social media platforms and telecast on Doordarshan network. Netflix and the ministry will partner to develop a creative ecosystem by organizing training programs for post-production, VFX, animation, music production among others and will be organised on ground and virtually.”
He further elaborated that the ministry in partnership with Netflix will continue to organise training workshops and master classes to encourage film makers in India to create inspiring content on various topics under Azadi Ka Amrit Mahotsav.
Commenting on the partnership, Netflix Head of global TV Bela Bajaria said, “Netflix is proud to partner with MIB to celebrate and acknowledge the evolution of India over the past 75 years by celebrating its beautiful art, culture and storytelling. Netflix is excited to be part of a time when stories from India are being exported to the world and the best Indian stories are being discovered and loved on a global stage.”
