In 2020, with her short film Devi that starred Kajol, Neha Dhupia and Shruti Haasan, director Priyanka Banerjee spoke about rape cases in India. Four years on, the director has been selected for In Bloom, an anthology that puts the spotlight on five female filmmakers across the world. Funded by the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation, and produced by Paramount Pictures and MTV Staying Alive Foundation, the anthology explores subjects of period poverty, child marriage, gender violence, family planning, and women’s economic empowerment.
