    Japanese drama about child abuse finds new home in Greece

    ATHENS: Greece has become the latest country to embrace one of Japan’s most emotionally charged television dramas. Mother, a series that tackles the harrowing subject of child abuse through the story of a teacher who kidnaps her student to save her from domestic violence, premiered on Alpha TV on September 25th.

    The Greek adaptation, titled Na me les mama (Call me mom), marks the 11th international remake of the Nippon TV original—making it the most globally adapted Asian scripted format on record. Filmiki, the Greek production company behind the series, worked closely with Nippon TV to maintain the show’s emotional core whilst adapting it for local audiences.

    “Mother is a story that has transcended cultures,” said Nippon TV scripted format sales and licensing executive Sally Yamamoto. The series has already conquered markets across Asia, Europe and the Middle East, with versions airing in South Korea, Turkey, Ukraine, Thailand, China, France, Spain, Saudi Arabia, Mongolia and the Philippines.

    The original Japanese drama follows a woman in her mid-thirties who lives an apathetic existence until she discovers one of her pupils is being abused at home. Unable to understand her own impulses, she kidnaps the child and attempts to raise her as her own daughter whilst on the run from authorities.

    Alpha TV programme director Christos Kompos described the series as “one of these stories that we feel really honoured to share with our audience.” The adaptation will stream simultaneously on Alpha TV’s HbbTV platform.

    The show’s unflinching examination of society’s tendency to ignore child abuse has struck a chord with international audiences, proving that some stories need no translation to resonate across cultural boundaries.

  • Neha Dhupia joins Mothers Against Vaping’s fight against tobacco devices targeting children

    Neha Dhupia joins Mothers Against Vaping’s fight against tobacco devices targeting children

    Mumbai: ‘Mothers Against Vaping’, a united front of concerned mothers combatting the promotion of new-age tobacco devices such as e-cigarettes and vapes among Indian children and youth announced that Neha Dhupia, renowned actress, model and mother has given her consent to support their cause and joined their ranks. Her invaluable support brings forth a powerful message of concern and determination to combat this growing crisis among our children.

    Despite a nationwide ban, international manufacturers are leaving no stone unturned to promote these new-Age tobacco devices with specific focus on Indian children and youth as they desperately search for new markets against the backdrop of tightening regulations. Mothers Against Vaping has been running an awareness programme, to raise awareness of this troubling reality, and urging immediate action from parents, educators and policymakers.

    Neha Dhupia, known for her outspokenness and an inspiration for women, firmly advocates for the Mothers Against Vaping movement. She expressed support saying “As a responsible mother, I wholeheartedly support the Mothers Against Vaping group and their cause. The issue is deeply alarming, and all mothers should be concerned as it directly impacts the health of our children. We, as mothers, must unite, raise our voices and increase awareness against vaping and electronic cigarettes to ensure that such habits are completely eradicated from the lives of our children and youth.”

    Mothers Against Vaping campaign is also supported by eminent personalities like Dr Deepa Malik – Padma Shri, Khel Ratna Arjuna Awardee; Dr Bhavna Barmi who is an internationally acclaimed  clinical psychologist, a public speaker, founder of Happiness Studio and head psychologist at Fortis Escorts Heart Institute; Dr Varuna Pathak, a former professor of gynaecology and obstetrics at the Gandhi Medical College; Kamaljeet Kaur – famous calligraphy artist and Vaishali Sharma – founder The Champa Tree, a parenting blog among others.

    The campaign will receive a significant boost with Neha lending her support to this crucial cause. Its reach holds the promise of significantly reducing vaping among children and safeguarding their health. As per Mothers Against Vaping, it is imperative for policymakers and stakeholders to understand the agenda of international marketers and launch extensive awareness initiatives on the harmful effects of vaping and electronic cigarettes such as heat-not-burn tobacco products. The dissemination of impactful advertisements should extend beyond movie halls, encompassing diverse public spaces to rectify misconceptions.

    Such awareness campaigns are essential to counteract the deceptive marketing strategies employed by e-cigarette manufacturers to promote these new-age tobacco devices and heat-no-burn tobacco products. These devices, often adorned with eye-catching designs and flavoured with strawberry or bubble gum, have gained immense popularity among children. As digital natives, today’s children and youth are quick to embrace new technologies, making them particularly susceptible to the allure of vaping. This trend poses a serious threat of addiction, as e-cigarettes and other new-age tobacco devices can serve as gateway devices for introducing users to harmful substances like cocaine and heroin.

    The mission of Mothers Against Vaping is dedicated to instilling positive values in our children and shielding them from the clutches of vices present in an increasingly bad and complex world.  The support from influential figures like Neha Dhupia will amplify the campaign of Mothers Against Vaping and create more awareness about the detrimental effects of vaping among children.

  • Unacademy’s new campaign highlights role of mother as first teacher

    Unacademy’s new campaign highlights role of mother as first teacher

    Mumbai: The edtech learning platform, Unacademy has launched its new campaign celebrating motherhood titled ‘Meri Pehli Academy’. The film commemorates the role of every mother as the first teacher, educator in every child’s life.

    Conceptualised by Ogilvy, the film showcases the story of a young student – Bulbul, who is moving to a new city to live alone. It highlights how her mother has come along to help her set up the place, guiding her to do things on her own, testing and mentoring her to live her life independently. The heartfelt appreciation soon turns into a deeper realisation, as Bulbul begins to see her mother as her first academy.

    The film outlines several instances which reinforce the subconscious learnings from the mother. When the mother asks Bulbul to make ‘chai’ – Bulbul learns the whereabouts of items in the kitchen and it is a metaphor for learning how to fend for yourself. When Bulbul starts unpacking her room, her mother hands her the box opener, highlighting how she is equipping Bulbul to start the new journey.

    Speaking on the launch of the film, Unacademy’s partner & chief marketing officer, Karan Shroff said, “Throughout our formative years, our mother figures teach us several valuable life lessons. For most of us, we do not realise during our entire lifetime, the pivotal role they play in our lives, which is that of our first educator, our first Academy.

    “This year, we are commemorating the learnings we all got from our #MeriPehliAcademy with the hope that the message resonates with all our learners. It also conveys Unacademy’s promise of being a lifelong ally to learners at every step of their journey along with their mother,” he added.

    Ogilvy’s chief creative officer Puneet Kapoor said, “A mother is our first teacher and our first school. From learning our first lessons from her, we also learn valuable life lessons. A mother is the foundation to a child’s being, her/his pillar of strength. The role that a mother plays in a child’s life, can’t be paralleled by any other human relationship. This was the genesis of the wonderful idea of the film:Maa- #MeriPehliAcademy.”

  • Tanishq, Talented launch new campaign to inspire moms and break stereotypes

    Tanishq, Talented launch new campaign to inspire moms and break stereotypes

    Mumbai: Tanishq has launched its latest campaign ‘The Interview’ ahead of Mother’s Day. Conceptualized by Tanishq and Talented, the two-minute slice of life film attempts to break stereotypes around maternity break and showcases an apt description of ‘Life’s Boot Camp’ through the eyes of a new mother.

    Created in partnership with Superfly Films, it strives to strike a conversation with new mothers as it shines the light upon progressive womanhood by celebrating the inherent leader in every mother. A maternity break teaches a woman to lead by instinct, and trust her own decisions, even when she often feels overwhelmed by advice received by others. It is only in this special phase of life that a woman really masters the art of time management and constant prioritization while she juggles multiple roles and responsibilities both personally and professionally.

    The film protagonist, Radhika, is a young mother and a promising candidate with charisma and a whole lot of rich experience. She is just back from her maternity break as she appears for a job interview. The interviewer is curiously surprised by the mention of ‘Life Boot Camp’ on her resume, even as she describes it beautifully just like any other job experience and the responsibilities that she might not even let go of. However, the interviewer’s decision was a little divided!

    Speaking on the launch of the film, Titan’s General Manager-Marketing, Ranjani Krishnaswamy said, “The woman of today is seeking to express herself with honesty and authenticity to confidently celebrate her realities. She’s thriving in her vulnerability while rising in her power to change her world. The brand believes these powerful stories build positive momentum in cultivating a world of equality and adding to her self-growth. This film is an ode to women who challenge set narratives and inspire many others to follow the change.”

    Titan’s Head-HR, Retail and Corporate said, “Work teams with better women representation bring high value to organizations. But this is not the only reason for Titan to embark on this journey. The purpose behind taking this step was that we thought it was innately the right thing to do. In the last three decades, we have built a foundation by increasing our gender representation across managerial levels, strengthening diversity enabling processes and building a culture of inclusivity. But we do not settle here. Titan is striving to continue improving women’s representation and create a culture where we make sure women receive all the required support from the organization in their journey as a mother with flexible and supportive policies”.

    Speaking on the film, Talented’s Founding Member and Creative Binaifer Dulani said, “Studies reveal that it will take at least 136 years to close the global gender pay gap, and one of the biggest factors for this is the lack of representation of women in senior leadership. We need more workplaces to see beyond the dominant culture and create equity for women so that they can make their comeback. There is no parallel to the thought differentiation and unique life experiences mothers bring to the table, yet they are constantly on the back foot when they want to make a comeback after a maternity break. Through this campaign, we want to inspire organisations to take affirmative action towards retaining and hiring mothers, and we want to inspire mothers to claim their maternity breaks as what it is – a boot camp in life and leadership”.
