Meryll - Film Screening

Presenter: 
Mythili Ramakrishna (Heinz Fellow)
Event Status: 
As Scheduled
Date: 
Thu, 09/29/2011 - 18:00 to 20:00

Madhyama Prasaran and Scientific Research Foundation has produced a 20 minute short film on child sexual abuse. 'Meryll' directed by Raghav Bhotika is the story of a girl who is going through an extremely sensitive period in her life, so much so that it can either destroy or cure her for life. Walking on a thin line between sanity and reality we see just how aloof Meryll is from the outside world and how little her own family knows her. During this journey, Meryll sees some light at the end of the tunnel, but she will have to put her past daemons aside.
