Global Hindu Heritage Foundation showed two documentaries on October 25 at the Cinemark Theater in Plano, TX. Chetana Productions carefully documented the activities, looking back over the past 20 years, visiting several places in Bharat, and speaking with villagers, Pracharaks, teachers, and students. More than 100 people filled the auditorium and watched the documentaries with great interest and curiosity. Several viewers shared their observations after the show, and Prime 9 TV anchor Silveri Srisailam recorded their views.
Suchetan Swaroop Vaidyanathan of Chetana Productions produced these two documentaries: “Dharma at Work” and “The Man Who Came to Serve. The idea came up when Suchetan and Chandra Movva were discussing a movie script. They thought Suchetan should make a short documentary about GHHF's 20 years of work in villages across nine states. The five-minute production concept expanded to a one-hour documentary on GHHF and a 25-minute documentary on Dr. Prakasarao Velagapudi’s journey into Sanatan Dharma. Swaroop and his team deserve congratulations for their commitment, dedication, and passion in producing these two documentaries in less than three months.  They spent countless hours sifting through documents and pictures spanning more than 50 years to ensure factual accuracy.

Dharma at Work: GHHF
This one-hour documentary examined 16 activities the Global Hindu Heritage Foundation has conducted over the last 20 years, and it has expanded over time.  The documentary is divided into eight chapters that cover numerous activities at different levels, over time, and across different States in Bharat. 1) One Man, One Mission, 2) The Fight for Temples Freedom, 3) The Children – Bala Samskar Kendras, 4) Gahr Wapasi – Home Coming, 5) Dharma on Screen – Short Film Festival, 6) Service in Crisis, 7) 2022 Frisco Controversy, 8) Chicago Protest May 2007, and other topics.
