A short film made by the children of APJ Abdul Kalam Tribal International Residential School at Attappady has won accolades in a film festival on child rights organised by Educo India and the Department of Media Sciences at Anna University, Chennai.
The 5.16-minute film titled Missing Chapter was chosen for its gripping theme: should students be encouraged to ask questions about sensitive important matters?
The film made under the banner of the Student Media Lab has a group of students and teachers acting in it. Scripted by V. Guru Ramesh and directed and edited by Mankekandan P., Missing Chapter exposes a trend seen among a section of teachers to discourage students from asking sensitive questions.
