Rajshri Deshpande, who you might know from Trial by Fire, is now on the jury for the 2026 All Living Things Environmental Film Festival (ALT EFF).
The festival uses films to spotlight environmental issues, something Deshpande feels strongly about.
She says storytelling can actually shift how people see things and inspire real change.
Deshpande hopes ALT EFF raises awareness
Deshpande's new role comes as Mumbai faces serious air quality problems post-Diwali, with pollution levels spiking across the city.
She hopes ALT EFF will help raise awareness and get more people talking and caring about urgent ecological issues through powerful cinema.
