Films and Salaam Baalak Trust have a long standing association.
Inspired by the potential of the Street children that played key roles in the widely acclaimed Mira Nair film "Salaam Bombay!" - The Trust came into being, to address the potential of multi talented street children and provide a net of services for their holistic development.
In view of this association, Salaam Baalak Trust has - over time - held Premieres, Special Screenings and other such Charitable activities; using these opportunities to raise awareness about Street Children as also build further support for the Trust.
Salaam Baalak Trust is once again delighted to be hosting a Premiere / Special Screening of the true story of a life lost and found " LION " - in Aid of Salaam Baalak Trust.
A Drama Film, "Lion" has been winning accolades from audiences across the world. It received six Oscar Nominations at the 89th Academy Awards and five nominations at the 70th British Academy Film Awards.
Salaam Baalak Trust is especially proud to be part of this event - as one of our Beneficiaries has played a key role in the film.
Many of the friends of Salaam Baalak Trust being well known personalities, the Screening would have a Red Carpet Premiere-like experience, with a good mix of Society's A List joining in the celebration.
Donors and Patrons would be happy to know that since operational costs are being covered elsewhere; the entire proceeds raised from this charitable activity will be invested into implementation of Salaam Baalak Trust's various programmes for the street children.
