Saturday, June 21, 2008 from 5:00 PM - 6:30 PM (ET)
Adhunika is proud to present the premiere show of ‘Stories of Change,’
a documentary by Simon and Sara, in New York. The film travels through
rural Bangladesh following the lives of five women from different
professions, backgrounds, and religions. ‘Stories of Change’ salutes
these five brave women for their resilience in the face of adversities.
From a sixteen-year-old spin bowler of the national women’s cricket
team to a chief photojournalist of a daily newspaper, each of these
women’s stories portrays not only their daily struggles for survival
but also their perseverance to succeed as women.
Proceeds from
this screening will go to Adhunika Foundation continuing to fund
projects which brings about social change in the lives of Bangladeshi
women through the use of technology.
