Aide et Action International South Asia has commisioned a short film, ‘Punni ki Kahaniyan’ to promote cultural harmony among children. The 18-minute film is aimed at audiences in the age group of eight to fifteen years and depicts various issues that touch children’s lives such as bullying/ragging in school, class and culture divide, religious distinctions and individuality versus herd mentality. All this is depicted sensitively in the larger backdrop of the need for multiculturalism, and respect for India’s heritage of diversity. ‘ Punni’ is an animated character that acts both a narrator and observer. This has been made with children from various states of India, aptly reflecting our rich diversity in language, food, culture and mannerisms. It is specifically targeted at school-going urban and rural children. The video is produced by Yavanika films based at Hyderabad. contact: communication@aea-southasia.org
