Maldivian-made films on mental health, gender equality and plastic pollution will debut on social media Wednesday following a joint project between a United Nations body and telecoms firm Dhiraagu.
The three films, which will also have a one-off screening ahead of movies shown at Shwack Cinema, were made by participants in the United Nations Development Programme’s #Film4Change initiative, which covered storytelling, videography and production.
The films were inspired by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals, specifically #SDG5 Gender Equality, #SDG10 Reduced Inequalities, and #SDG12 Responsible Consumption and Production.
The Maldives failed to meet the UN’s Millennium Development Goals on gender equality, climate action, and global partnerships for development.
