SON RISE : India’s fight for what’s right for its women & girls: Had the privilege to see this amazing documentary made by Vibha Bakshi on this hugely important topic. Set inside the heartlands of Haryana, it tells the amazing stories of brave men who have endured incredible odds to fight for what’s right for women and girls and become role models in the process…doing so simply because it was the right thing to do.

Son Rise is a step towards discussion, thinking, talking about issues more openly in each household, neighborhood, everywhere. I hope this is a revolution India needs desperately. Many Congratulations to the entire cast & crew. It was indeed a hard hitting movie.

~CEO Morgan Stanley

Vibha Bakshi’s incredible documentary Son Rise brings the message for an urgent need for us to act NOW through the stories of incredible men who are leading the change.

Vibha – only you could have brought this story of injustice and hope together. The end was no fairy tale. There is a lot to be done. Thank you – it’s not something we should forget tomorrow.
