Film Outreach

Harrow School Premiere

The premiere of Roar & Resilience at Harrow School drew an audience of over 300, the largest student-led event in the school’s history. Students and teachers discussed coexistence and how even well-meaning conservation policies can sometimes have unintended consequences.

“The experience of the film, as a biologist and an educator, has left me profoundly moved.”
— Mr. Alastair Land, Headmaster, Harrow School, UK

“The statistics are really shocking.”
— Mr. Nick Keylock, Head of Conservation, Harrow School, UK

“A breathtaking film through India’s wildest forests.”
— Lucian Tyacke, Grade 11 student, Harrow School, UK

“A deeply engaging film which sheds light on the other side of India’s tiger reserves.”

— Ethan Soong, Grade 11 student, Harrow School, UK

School Screenings in India

To reach younger audiences, I organised a screening tour across North India, visiting more than 20 schools and engaging over 8,000 students. Post-screening discussions focused on stories from the film, from the success of Project Tiger to the challenges faced by families living near reserves such as Tadoba.

International and UK School Screenings

The film continues its journey with upcoming screenings at Harrow International Schools in Bangkok, Hong Kong, Beijing, New York, and Bangalore, as well as a preparatory school in the UK. Each event invites students to view conservation through empathy, equity, and coexistence.

Public Screenings

The film was shown in a five-day screening at the India Habitat Centre in New Delhi, one of India’s most respected and centrally located cultural venues, which increased the event’s visibility. The screening was made possible by the support of a senior art curator who valued the film’s message. It brought together NGOs and art enthusiasts to discuss community-led approaches to sustainability and the role of cinema in raising environmental awareness.

Festival Recognitions

Roar & Resilience has been selected and recognised by over eight international festivals, from the ECOCINE International Environment and Human Rights Film Festival in Brazil to the Flickers’ Rhode Island International Film Festival in the United States, among others, giving it global platforms to promote the inclusion of human communities in the conversation about wildlife protection.
