Recollections of a mother

When you want to know about the life of someone, who is better to ask than his mother? This is precisely what a group of students - who are producing a documentary on the life of Education Minister E.T. Mohammed Basheer - have done. The documentary `Inte Bappu Ingade Basheer' unfolds as the recollections of the Minister's mother, Fathima, from the time her little one ran about the veranda of their ancestral home.

Other noted persons too make an appearance in the half-hour programme offering their assessment of the life and work of Mohammed Basheer. The documentary ends by showing the mother waiting for her son to come back home.

Finance Minister Vakkom Purushothaman switched on the camera for the documentary in his chamber on Monday. The film will be shot at locations in Thiruvananthapuram, Malappuram, Kozhikode and Ernakulam. It is being written and directed by Deepthi Shah, a student of journalism at the Press Club, Kozhikode, and is scheduled to be released in March this year.
