Ashoka India-Youth Venture Mumbai 2011

13 years ago
Dream It. Do It. The motto spread like wild fire. 460 Youth Venturers from Mumbai and Sonegad demonstrated the potential of youth, by bringing to life works which one only contemplates- one worked on creating awareness on issues such as Child Sexual Abuse, while another on clearing the drainage system in her neighbourhood soon after the Mumbai deluge and yet another creating a supportive educational environment through a library and an evening class set-up. The plethora of examples, range from a singular one time activity like a public hearing post mobilising the entire community, to building of networks with system changing ideas. What we inherit. is clearly a legacy we must have a say over. Interspersed with short interviews with Ashoka Fellows, the documentary draws on the indomitable spirit of youth and makes us think...... maybe we as society need to utilise what is sourly underutilised and invest in our 'Young' to live the change.
