OS vox pop films on governance, democracy, elections

What’s the best way to get someone explore a city? Hand them a camera! We did just that and got a bunch of enthusiastic youngsters to bring out their digicams and film cultures, people, places they had never known before. These were 2-minute films on democracy, voting and governance which followed the classic vox pop format. Apart from the interesting mix of participants (a businessman, a handful of students, a producer..), the
other remarkable aspect of this exercise was the introduction of localities and communities in Ahmedabad these youngsters had never got a chance to go to or interact with earlier.

By now we have screened these films for over 100 people in Ahmedabad and posted the links on Youtube.
