STORIES OF CHANGE - a documentary by Simon & Sara, Brought to You by Adhunika

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.
