The second event under Baatein was screening Beautiful Boy, a 2018 movie directed by Felix Van Groeningen. The movie narrates the challenges emerging in a father-son relationship and the family's challenges and complexities of tackling the son's repeated falling to substance addiction. The movie was well-received. Subsequently, a creative workshop was conducted in collaboration with Dr. Kanika Sinha, Director, Centre for Writing & Communication, Ashoka University, based on this movie. Participants were encouraged to express and reflect their views in the Indian context of the movie with American family setup. The workshop concluded with a deep discussion on the state of substance addiction, treatment, societal pressures faced by victim families. The participants reflected their thoughts in words, via art and other media of expressions.
