Boishakhi airs ‘Silk Ceiling’ on world women’s day
Boishakhi television on March 8, 2010 broadcasted a TVE-CMCS film titled “Silk Ceiling” to mark the World Women’s Day.
The film, produced by TVE (Television Trust for the Environment) and dubbed in Bangla by CMCS, illustrated the major findings of the Asia-Pacific Human Development Report on Gender through the lives of ordinary women.
The two-part series, compressed into one for airing by Boishakhi, has been filmed in India and Indonesia – with funding from UNDP India and Indonesia. UNDP Bangladesh supported CMCS to dub the film in Bangla.
Broadcasted initially on BBC world, the film highlighted role models for women like Sunita, New Delhi’s first auto-rickshaw driver, Gujarat’s ‘Diamond of the Forest,’ who led her friends out of the forest into a better future, and Kiran Devi, a young housewife elected as village head in Bihar, to inspire them to come out of the invisible barriers that confront so many Asian women.
CMCS arranged dubbing of the film and its broadcasting under a partnership with TVE, a London-based international organization.
TVE makes films to inspire change, covers the most important stories on the planet: from climate change to the role of women, from conflict to culture, health to human rights.
The films are aimed at inspiring viewers to lead a greener life, entrepreneurs to take up the sustainability challenge, corporations to see why they need to go green and decision-makers to think, and act, differently.
TVE’s films reach 300 million homes via global broadcast and more than half a billion viewers on national, regional and local channels.
