Gives filmmaker access to their archives on juvenile crime

First-time director Faruk Kabir's film Allah Ke Banday has actual footage from the archives of UNICEF on issues of juvenile crimes and other issues about children in difficult times. The footage is part of a music video on the film.

Faruk says, "UNICEF is supporting the film because it talks about the plight of children affected by crime and war. They were generous enough to let us use footage from their archives. They morally supported the idea of the film and immensely liked the subject."

Thrilled that he got to work with the humanitarian organisation, Kabir adds, "They have an archive dating back over 50 years and talks about children facing difficult circumstances. Not just because of war but also issues like child labour, malnutrition, etc. I have used clippings from their documentaries and interviews and used it in my music video which I have shot with Kailash Kher." Allah Ke Banday releases on October 22 and Faruk is counting the days to the release, "I am really excited because I've put my heart and soul in this film."
