These extraordinary individuals brought their expertise, passion, and invaluable insights to the table. Their presence added immense value to our event, and we are grateful for their support in spreading awareness about our documentary.
"The Burnt Soil" sheds light on the forgotten art of pottery, with a special focus on 'chaa er bhar' (earthen cups for tea). Through our film, we aim to highlight the inherent benefits of using these earthen cups and raise awareness about the potential health and environmental hazards posed by plastic cups that are replacing them.
We are proud to be part of this meaningful initiative, and we sincerely thank everyone who attended the event and showed their unwavering support. Together, we can make a difference and pave the way for a more sustainable future! ππ
Stay tuned for more updates on "The Burnt Soil" as we continue our journey to spread awareness and inspire change. π₯β¨
