SCREENWRITING/ PLAY AND WRITING AWARDS

Scholastic Art & Writing Award for dramatic script “Money Tree”: 

 

Anjali wrote a foreign film script titled “Money Tree”, which depicts the poverty trap of young disadvantaged Indian youth facing systemic challenges preventing their upward economic mobility. In the script, the light hearted humorous dialogue by the children slowly reveals the system of poverty that they are trapped in. Just like the money tree cannot grow because of its surroundings neither can the children. Anjali won a National Silver Medal scholastic award and regional Gold Key award. Less than 1% of 260,000 works submitted got recognized at the national level with a silver medal.
