The show highlights sensitive social issues prevalent in India such as female foeticides, child sexual abuse, dowry, medical malpractice, honor killings, insensitivity towards the physically disabled, domestic violence, overuse of pesticides leading to pesticide poisoning, alcoholism, untouchability, plight of senior citizens and water crisis. While Hindi is the primary language of the show, it was also dubbed and simulcast in other Indian languages such as Bengali, Malayalam, Marathi, Tamil and Telugu, and subtitled in English.
Satyamev Jayate received an overwhelming positive response and feedback from both the critics as well as the public. The show was widely appreciated by several film and television personalities, politicians and social activists for its research, format, presentation and content." (Wikipedia)

Each episode has left me speechless. I've learned so much. We live in a bubble, we're ignorant and oblivious to the struggles that people have to face every single day because of the flaws in our society. This show has been a great, and emotionally touching, reality check for me. The link below contains all fourteen episodes with English subtitles.

A Matador's Mistress

A film I'm currently watching, A Matador's Mistress, about a Spanish bullfighter and his story. I thought I'd share, since I love it.

Google Search: Reunion

This is the most brilliant and touching advertisement I have seen in a long, long time. Not only does it show the value of true friendship, but it also conveys messages on larger, more impacting issues. For one, I think Google does a great job in showing how technology, specifically it's own advancements, has brought the world closer together. How the world is at your fingertips. How old friends are just a few Google searches away. At the same time, it also hints on the political issues between India and Pakistan, an issue that many people (particularly the audience of this ad) are passionate about. I love this ad, not only because it's touches the heart, but because of the work, strategies, and creativity that have been put into it.
