Hi Friends,
Many of you know my connection to Sri Lanka. I have seen something beautiful, topical, and informative about Sri Lanka: A short film/documentary called "Democracy in Debt: Sri Lanka Beyond the Headlines" by Beena Sarwar, a senior Pakistani journalist based in the Boston area.
This is a very beautiful, artistic, and informative film about democracy, governance, and people - an increasingly relevant topic to many developing economies - many in South Asia.
Beena is visiting Seattle from the 16th October to the 20th to attend the Tasveer South Asian Film Festival in Seattle.
If you are interested in a screening, please send me a request via Messenger with your contact details. It can be a private screening with 10-20-30 or any number. Happy to arrange it!
"This documentary is notable for being the first of its kind by a foreign filmmaker to be shown in a local cinema, offering a unique perspective that transcends national boundaries. The case of Sri Lanka could be a good lesson for the rest of the world, mainly for those in the global south.” - Dr Ranga Kalanasooriya - Co-founder of Factum and media analyst.
The film is supported by the Pulitzer Center.
