Indian documentary wins bronze medal New York Festivals

Miditech’s Undercover Asia: Girls for Sale has won a bronze world medal at the New York Festivals World’s Best Film & TV Awards in the Social Issues category. Undercover Asia: Girls for Sale talks about anti-trafficking activist Rishi Kant’s search for two minor girls, who have been abducted.

Girls for Sale also explores the brothels, placement agencies and homes to see the horrors that these young girls were subjected to, Radhika Chandrasekhar, the director of the documentary, said, “Making this film was a harsh reality check for the entire crew. We lived through the agonies of each of the children — the sexual abuse most went through, the rescue and escape attempts, the rebuilding of a life.”

In 2014, Miditech’s “Silent Screams” won three awards at the New York Festivals.
