Mission Shakti – A Documentary on India’s Mars Landing
I had the distinct honour and privilege of documenting India’s monumental Mars landing for the brilliant little stars who are still in school. This 20-minute documentary, commissioned by the Defence Research and Development Organisation (DRDO) and the Defence Wing of the Government of India, showcased the incredible synergy between India’s defence sector and cutting-edge innovation of our missiles. The primary challenge was to translate the profound efforts and scientific breakthroughs of India’s scientists into an accessible, “infotaining” narrative for school children. The film aimed to make them sit up and truly see the power of dreams, demonstrating through the Mars landing that with sufficient willpower and commitment, any feat is possible.
