A tele-film brought out by the IT@ School VICTERS educational channel highlights the environmental degradation unleashed by a chemical factory and the valiant attempts made by a student and her teacher against the pollution in the locality.The half-an-hour long film titled 'Kannadippuzhayude Theerathu' made in association with the State Pollution Control Board was screened at the Kalabahavan Theatre on Wednesday. The film is a maiden venture by the channel since its launch a few years ago. Significantly, though the film appeared to be sermonising over the havoc wreaked by the factory, it did not demand for its closure. Instead, it calls for better safeguards and effluent treatment units to minimize the potential hazards on the local population. The low budget film, which took only two-days for completion, was shot in and around Tholicode near Vithura. The film also relied on spot-editing ensuring a speedy completion.The script for the film was written by V.R. Ajith Kumar, while Girish cranked the camera. Editing was done by Sajeev Haridas, sound effects by Raj Marthandom and sound mixing by Prasanth S.The film will be shown to the public through the VICTERS channel soon. "Our next project is going to be on water. The movie will show how some parts of our State are reeling under acute scarcity of water," Mr. Santhosh said.
