This episode of The Mohua Show is a powerful conversation about storytelling as civic action—and why entertainment, when done right, can move people to remember, feel, and act.
Filmmaker and producer, Anushka Shah, Founder of Civic Studios speaks about building stories that travel across borders while staying rooted in purpose. From India–UK collaborations and global co-productions to climate storytelling and gender equity, this episode explores how cinema can hold both commercial ambition and moral responsibility at the same time.
A conversation about imagination as action, stories as bridges, and why hope may be the most radical narrative of our time.
