BMCLD (Shreela Agarwal)
In Mumbai, the city of dreams, one thing that remains constant is change. Change towards better infrastructure, improved transportation, enhanced living conditions all in the pursuit of a brighter future, maybe?
But have we stopped to consider what we might be losing in the process? Or the pain experienced by those who have to uproot their lives for this supposed progress?
Over the past few years, I have closely witnessed and experienced the plight of one such community: a small boxing club in the heart of Mumbai. Inspired by these events, the story of BMCLD came to life.

TURTLE WALKER (Taira Malaney)
In the late 1970s, Satish Bhaskar embarked on an epic journey along India's coastline and the spectacular Andaman and Nicobar Islands, where he uncovered the vital nesting beaches of sea turtles. During his death-defying quest, he unravels mysteries surrounding these enigmatic ocean creatures – and sets out to save them from extinction. After a devastating tsunami strikes in 2004, Bhaskar grapples with a pressing question: What happens to sea turtles when their nesting beaches disappear?

This screening will be followed by an in-person Q&A with both filmmakers - Shreela Agarwal and Taira Malaney.
