# Collection MFDI - Amra Dujon (Together)

Working family planning messages into this format is not difficult. The result: since 1985 over 10 million people have seen Amra Dujon (Together). This film is produced in the populist and popular melodramatic morality-tale style, so beloved of audiences in the subcontinent. In this case, the message underlying the drama promotes birth control policies. The hero and heroine realize the physical and economic strain of having a large family and eventually decide that they should "wait a while before starting their family". This decision is made at the suggestion of the local radio family planning question and answer programme, at which point the couple breaks into a love song sequence amphasizing that they must make decisions and build their lives together. This movie came to filmcollectief through Media for Development International. MFDI is an American 501(c)3 non-profit agency which has been operational now for 15+ years. It relates closely to Media for Development Trust (MFD) a Zimbabwean registered charity (W.O. 21/89) set up in the late 1980s, and also to Media for Development International / Tanzania, a branch office established in 2004 in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. The three are sister agencies. MFDI / USA supports the others, and they work together in film, radio, and TV productions as well as distributing African social message videos.
