Priyanka Chopra Jonas is set to debut her latest documentary, "Women of My Billion (WOMB)," on Prime Video starting May 3.
Directed by Ajitesh Sharma, the film chronicles the remarkable journey of Srishti Bakshi, who embarked on a 3,800-kilometer (2,360-mile) walking pilgrimage from Kanyakumari to Kashmir, India, spanning 240 days.
Bakshi's mission was to uncover and share stories of women their struggles, dreams, rights, and triumphs against societal odds.
Chopra Jonas, the producer behind "WOMB" under her Purple Pebble Pictures label, expressed the film's purpose as transcending the enduring struggles faced by women worldwide.
She stated, "Women have borne the brunt of gender bias for far too long, enduring a silent struggle against entrenched social injustices that seek to suppress their voices." With "WOMB," Chopra Jonas aims to ignite hope and solidarity, emphasising the need for action to empower women globally, according to Variety.
Apoorva Bakshi’s Awedacious Originals co-produces the documentary alongside Chopra Jonas. "WOMB" isn't just a portrayal of pain and suffering but a powerful call for unity and empowerment. The filmmakers aspire for the film to contribute to a world where every woman is valued, respected, and empowered to achieve her full potential.
With its poignant narrative and mission-driven approach, "WOMB" promises to be a compelling addition to the documentary landscape, shedding light on the resilience and strength of women across diverse cultures and backgrounds.
