The recent discussions sparked by the second International Science Film Festival in Thrissur highlight a fundamental shift needed in our educational system. Scientist M.P. Parameswaran made a profound point about how science shouldn't just be about boosting production or personal wealth, but about fostering a world where everyone lives happily. It is refreshing to see a festival that isn’t just about watching documentaries but involves students and teachers in the creative process of filmmaking. With the district panchayat planning to showcase 100 local films next year, we are moving toward a future where science is democratized through storytelling. Films like 'Arivinte Lokam' and 'Jeevante Thudippu' aren't just educational; they are tools for social change. If we stop teaching children that money is the ultimate goal, we might actually solve the world's biggest crises. Science for humanity! #science #education #cinema
