Documentaries on the lives of Kashmiris is rare. This is one of the best documentaries made in Kashmiri background and its problems. This is to be heartily welcomed.
This is powerful video. It brings out the impact of the conflict on the youth. The disruption of their lives, the sources of stress and how they are using art to address the emotional distress and sense of insecurity are brought out very well. I congratulate the team for this excellent contribution to understand the human impact of the conflict situation in Kashmir valley.
My background of work is disaster mental health care.I am a psychiatrist-mental health professional, I have worked with a wide range of populations in disaster/conflict situations and published both scientific and SELF-CARE material for emotional health of survivors.
I would like to work towards developing and sharing/empowering the youth of Kashmir towards their empotional health. i would like to hear from those working in this area, those interested in this activity to get in touch with me.
