Our upcoming documentary film is a collaborative effort between the Department of Social Work, Assam University Silchar, and our production unit, SSSA Mirage Films. This one-of-a-kind project is dedicated to the lives of individuals with autism and children with special needs highlighting how their everyday challenges are being eased through meaningful and compassionate initiatives. Through the lens of empathy and awareness, we showcase the efforts of kind-hearted individuals who are making a real difference. We believe this is the first documentary of its kind in the Barak Valley, devoted entirely to portraying the journey, resilience, and empowerment of autistic individuals.
Conceptualized by Dr. Kaivalya T Desai and Dr. Joyashri Dey, the film is co-directed by both of them, with scripting and research contributions from Dr. Desai, Dr. Dey, and Swapnodeep Sen. The narration and voiceover have been done by Dr. Joyashri Dey, while editing and sound design have been carried out by Swapnodeep Sen, with sound mixing support from Soumen Paul. Cinematography has been managed by Swapnodeep Sen and Arundhati Paul Chowdhury. The production was overseen by Dr. Joyashri Dey and Dr. Kaivalya T Desai.
The project extends heartfelt thanks to Prof. Rajive Mohan Pant, Hon’ble Vice Chancellor of Assam University; Dr. Pradosh Kiran Nath, Registrar; and Prof. Tarun Bikash Saha, Head of the Department of Social Work, for their support. This unique film, will be produced under the banner of the Department of Social Work, Assam University, aims to highlight the stories, struggles, and initiatives that make life more inclusive for autistic individuals. The film is set to be released soon.
