Filmmaker Rakeysh Omprakash Mehra will screen the Emmy-nominated documentary, The Price Of Free, which follows Nobel peace laureate Kailash Satyarthi and his team’s journey as they rescue children caught in the web of trafficking. The filmmakar will host a private screening of the documentary in Mumbai on August 11, to mark the fifth year of Satyarthi’s Nobel Peace Prize win.
The 87-minute film portrays how Satyarthi left a career as an electrical engineer and started Bachpan Bachao Andolan (Save the Childhood Movement) to rescue children from slavery.
The film premiered at the 2018 Sundance Film Festival and won the Sundance Grand Jury Prize. It debuted on YouTube the same year and has over seven million views.
“It is an honour to host this, in honour of Kailash Satyarthi who has been at the vanguard of the global movement to end child slavery and exploitation of children since 1980,” said the Delhi 6 director.
