Watch a film and help a defenceless animal today. How? AT PVR in Lower Parel today, a 12-minute documentary of the work done by NGO In Defense of Animals (IDA) India since 1996, shot by photojournalist and ad filmmaker Tunali Mukherjee, will be screened. And if you’re not on the invitee list for that, you can catch the film on Facebook and Youtube.

Mukherjee, a self confessed animal lover, first visited IDA India’s shelter (Deonar and Turbhe) a few years ago and volunteered her photography services. They soon took her up on this offer and asked her to film their work in the hope of generating much-needed funds. Mukherjee says, “We shot for a year. Even though IDA India is doing some great work, they don’t have enough money. The shelter does not turn away any animal that comes to them. If they don’t get the money soon they will have to shut down in the next six months.”
