Moti Bagh: Documentary based on Uttarakhand farmer's life and struggles nominated for Oscars 2020

Moti Bagh, a documentary film based on the struggle of a farmer in a remote Himalayan village, has been nominated for the Oscars, Uttarakhand Chief Minister Trivendra Singh Rawat said on Tuesday. The chief minister congratulated the director, Nirmal Chander Dandriyal, and said the film is based on the life of Vidyadutt, a farmer living in the state’s Pauri Garhwal region. The film, Rawat said, will inspire youths to stay in their villages and work for their communities. “It will help stop migrations from remote areas,” he said. Check out Trivendra Singh Rawat’s tweet

यह फिल्म आज की पीढ़ी को पहाड़ में रहकर अपनी माटी की सेवा करने की प्रेरणा देती है। पलायन रोकने के प्रयासों के लिए यह फिल्म एक उत्तम उदाहरण साबित होगी।
