ANOTHERWAY NOW + UNIVERSITY OF READING

BRAVE GIRLS: Film Screening + Panel Discussion

Thursday 18th February 2021

With the University of Reading, we hosted a film screening of the beautiful documentary ‘Brave Girls’ followed by online panel discussion.   

We were thrilled to be joined by an inspirational panel of women and would like to thank our chair Uma Kambhampati,  Rosa Freedman, Tallulah Sofia, Ellie Walton, Yashaswi Desai and, Brave Girl, Apsana Belim for contributing to such a fascinating discussion of the feminist battle between education and arranged marriage in India and other cultures.   

Also, to also shine a light on the making of the documentary; the film making process itself but also how taking part in this film served, not only to give a platform to these issues, but also gave the girls the confidence to make change.   How inspiring to hear directly from Apsana that she and the other brave girls will put the hopes and dreams of their girls first. 

Thank you to the audience, for engaging, commenting and sending through questions to our panel throughout.
