Earlier this month the United Nations Development Programme launched the second edition of its Film for Change project in the Maldives.
The initiative helps young people to explore socially significant issues through short films. Participants are guided by mentors on the technical and creative skills needed to make documentary-style movies.
Themes are inspired by the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals and this year’s were focused on Quality Education (SDG4), Gender Equality (SDG5), Climate Action (SDG13), and Life below Water (SDG14).
The Maldives Independent spoke to some people who took part in last year’s project.
