The Seven Dwarfs fight malaria.
Reviews

Walt Disney turns his hand to government information animation in this initially rather oppressively narrated film about the anopheles mosquito. This eponymous scourge is responsible for the spread of malaria and this destroys lives and livelihoods. How to stop it? Well for that, he drafts in the help of the seven dwarves who proceed to show us how - in not a terribly ecologically sound fashion - we can kill their larvae in stagnant ponds, spray them out of existence in the nooks and crannies of our homes and we can use door and window screens as well as muslin to protect ourselves from their pesky pervasiveness. It's entirely too simplistic, but it does raise awareness of this disease in an entertaining enough fashion with "Dopey" getting most of the laughs as he and his pet toad do some bug-management. Worth a watch, but hardly scientific.

Ragat1997-12-01Ragat (Blood) is a powerful Nepali film that highlights caste discrimination and social injustice. The story follows Krishna, a young man from a lower-caste family, who bravely fights against the oppression of the rich and upper-caste elites. Hemant Kaji, a wealthy and influential man, strongly believes in caste superiority and looks down on the poor. Amidst this division, Laxmi, a girl from a rich family, falls in love with Gopal, a lower-caste boy. Defying societal norms and family pressure, they marry against their parents' wishes, challenging the rigid caste system. Their love becomes a symbol of change, but their struggle is met with resistance. In the end, Radha, Laxmi's caring aunt, tragically loses her life, leaving behind a message that all human blood is the same-hot and red.

By shouting specific phrases and acting out a strict choreography, it is a way of paying respect to the deceased but also overcoming grief and pain over the loss of a loved one. Through the documentation of the re-enactment of the ritual, Zgjim Elshani seeks to recover fragments of the practice in the communities where this form of collective grieving is still a way of overcoming loss. By doing so, the project intends to rethink collective grieving and what it means to publicly display emotions in a male-headed society.The Hollywood Gad-Abo...
