Prajwala is taken one more leap in sensitizing the public about sex trafficking and its damages. A feature film made in a format which is easy for mass viewing is the organization latest weapon for awakening the masses to this organized crime.
“Naa Bangaaru Talli”( My Dearest Daughter) a feature film in telugu made waves before it reached the theaters. With five international awards in various International Festivals and with 3 National Awards the film was creating history of sorts before it reached the masses through the theaters. In the telugu film industry it was the first time that a telugu film had got 3 awards for the same film in the last 25 years.
With a lot of struggle, but ultimately people’ power triumphed as Naa Bangaaru Talli became the first telugu film to reach the theaters(distributed) by crowd-funding.
The film ran for over 6 weeks with great public response. Due to financial constraints the film showed only in limited theaters, but the impact for the same was 100%.
The film is based on a true story of sex trafficking and is about a middle class father and daughter who are caught in the vicious trap of this organized crime.
