    Fujifilm India’s heartfelt ad shines light on breast cancer awareness

    MUMBAI: Fujifilm India has unveiled its latest brand film, Maa’s Fight Through My Eyes, under the Stories of More Smiles series, leaving viewers deeply moved. This impactful campaign, set in rural West Bengal, tells the real-life success story of a breast cancer survivor, beautifully narrated through her daughter’s perspective.

    But wait, why should you care? Because this isn’t just another ad—it’s a compelling blend of technology, empathy, and a call to action for early cancer detection.

    The film stems from Fujifilm India’s breast cancer awareness initiative “Find It Early, Fight It Early”, which combines ground-level campaigns with state-of-the-art mammography technology. If you’ve ever wondered how healthcare innovation can create life-changing impacts, this ad serves as the perfect answer.

    Shot against the bustling and vibrant backdrop of Berhampore, West Bengal, the film brings to life the journey of a cancer survivor and her family. As her daughter recounts the emotional highs and lows, viewers see the unwavering dedication of two compassionate medical professionals, Paromita and Ipsita, who symbolise hope in the face of despair.

    The narrative showcases Fujifilm’s advanced diagnostic solutions, enabling early detection and precise treatment, which transformed the survivor’s life. It’s not just about a medical journey—it’s about resilience, human connection, and the unshakeable spirit of a mother and daughter.

    The story concludes on a high note, with the survivor dedicating her second chance at life to raising awareness about breast cancer, handing out pamphlets, and inspiring women to prioritise their health. What’s more inspiring than that?

    What makes this film stand out? Well for starters, the film is directed by Ranvir Kumar Suman and produced by Seaface Films, this project involved over 80 crew members, ensuring every detail of the survivor’s journey was authentically captured. Took over three days to shoot across seven locations, the film doesn’t just tell a story—it transports you straight to the heart of West Bengal. And last but not the least, the project used Fujinon Premista Cine lenses, adding cinematic brilliance to its emotional narrative.

    Fujifilm India MD Koji Wada shared his thoughts, “At Fujifilm India, we are committed to delivering innovative products and solutions that embody our Group Purpose of ‘Giving Our World More Smiles.’ By blending diverse ideas, unique capabilities, and extraordinary people, we aim to create solutions that bring joy and smiles to the world.

    Fujifilm India vertical head of corporate communications & CSR, Abhi Shekhar Singh added, “At Fujifilm India, our actions are in line with our group purpose of Giving Our World More Smiles. This is the second ad film under Stories of More Smiles which continues to tell the stories that should matter for the society for a social good. Shot over a span of three days across seven locations, the film navigates the truth of the story and every aspect of what happened in the journey from diagnosis to post-recovery in the family of a breast cancer survivor.
