The films
We currently have six (6) stories in Digits4Change – each a self-contained 5 minute TV capsule.
The stories come from Bhutan, Cambodia, India, Indonesia and Pakistan (2 stories).
Each story was filmed by an internationally experienced local film crew directed or briefed by TVE Asia Pacific. They were post-produced in Colombo, Sri Lanka.
All have been produced to international broadcast standards, and come with copyrights cleared for use by broadcast, educational and civil society groups.
