Sell your pangs for recognition

Along with slum dog millionaire the documentary film Smile pinky won Oscar for best documentary Oscar award. The film is about a small girl with cleft lip living in a small village in Uttar Pradesh.
The film is woven around the girl tribulations as she is isolated by the villagers. Ultimately, she gets cured after a surgery. Again,this film is directed by an american.

Underline message is that "You Indians cannot portray the India the way we wanted to see. Leave it to us we will portray it to our taste".

For those aspiring future technicians who yearn for international recognition make films on those problems which are plaguing our system . Even this would not be sufficient make sure you should have one or two westerners in your unit that would give minimum guarantee in fetching an international award.
