  • Caught: Shady Ration Shopowners
Issue: Corruption
CVU: Samvad
NGO Partner: Saath
Location: Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India
Description: Corruption in India has become a "fact of life" so much so that people are skeptical about rooting it out at any point of time. The fact that our producers talk about corruption in this video says a lot about how they are progressing in their process of discovery and empowerment - they are now willing to think that they have rights they can demand.
This video exposes the corrupt practices in the ration shops, which are the government run shops where the poor can get subsidized basic necessities.

  • Apna Elections! // Our Elections!
Issue: Political issues
CVU: Apna TV
NGO Partner: Akshara
Location: Mumbai, Maharashtra, India
Description: Duration: 3:20 mins, Location: Mumbai This video stars Bollywood filmstar and social activist, Rahul Bose as the anchor of the magazine. The video encourages youth to participate in Mumbai local city elections and to cast a vote and demand for a local "complaint box" so that elected representative can act upon the communities' needs.
The video magazine particularly targeted youth apathy in casting of votes and emphasizing how important Bombay Municipal Corporation (BMC) elections are for citizens of Mumbai as it takes care of most of their basic day to day necessities. Though this video is focused around the local BMC elections, it is relevant for any election. Making this magazine was a marathon for the CVU as it was going beyond election awareness to include ways to make the corporators accountable. In the 12 days before the election when the magazine was completed about 50 screening were conducted in working class colonies, in colleges and in many meetings organized by NGO's.
Soon after, the magazine was covered by almost all the leading newspaper of Mumbai.
