      In July 2021, SAGA hosted their first information sharing discussion with the Indian Cine and Television Artist's Association (CINTAA) to discuss the working realities of Bollywood and its similarities to the South African industry.

      There was a screening of the documentary film "Living on the edge- Deglamourizing Bollywood" followed by commentary and Q&A with its producer Opender Chanana.

      Discussion points:

      • Health and Safety regulations on set.
      • Intimacy coordination for scenes of a sensitive nature.
      • Sexual Harassment.
      • Removing barriers to LGBTQIA+ communities and embracing diversity in our industry.
      • Performer Contracts and Collective Bargaining Rights.

      This session is an insightful behind-the-scenes look at one of the world's largest, and most popular film/TV industries and a celebration of South African/Indian actor solidarity.
