Here is the latest update on where we are with the Threads finishing campaign.  We are very grateful to everyone who has contributed to help bring this inspiring film to the world, and hope that you will help us spread the word through your networks to others who are interested in learning how a single person can make lasting, positive, change in the lives of many.

Inspiration.  Determination.  Liberation.  That is the story of Surayia Rahman and the women of Arshi.

Threads has reached a major milestone, picture lock.  We’ve finished editing and changes to the film’s story line.  Now we’re moving to the final but crucial part of post-production:  final music, color correction, sound mix, and making the masters for future copies of the film.  So there is still a lot to do, but the time when we can begin showing the finished version of Threads to you and the world is in sight.

We are thankful to everyone who has supported Threads over nearly five years.  Your help and encouragement has carried us this far and will get us across the finish line!

You can find the film finishing campaign at this link. Some of the friends of Threads tell why they have supported the project.  Please share this link with people who are interested in a film that tells the stories of unconventional women who followed a different path to economic self-sufficiency and that challenges some common views of Bangladesh.  There will be more stories from friends of the film in future posts.
