Mumbai: Network recognized in the Cultural Issues Category for Trapped by Tradition: a CNN Freedom Project Documentary
In recognition of CNN‘s exceptional and courageous reporting, the network has been honored with the ‘Gold World Medal‘ in the Cultural Issues category at New York Festival‘s International TV and Film Awards 2012 for ‘Trapped by Tradition: a CNN Freedom Project documentary.‘

"We are delighted that ‘Trapped by Tradition‘ has been recognized with this prestigious award," said Tony Maddox, executive vice president and managing director of CNN International. "The award reflects the CNN Freedom Project‘s continued commitment to help bring an end to modern day slavery and is testament to the uncompromising dedication of our newsgathering teams as they seek to shine a light on this horrific practice and provide a voice for victims who cannot speak for themselves."

"I am very pleased that Trapped by Tradition has been awarded this distinguished award," said Indian film luminary Anil Kapoor who was a special contributor to the CNN Freedom Project for ‘Trapped by Tradition‘. "Human slavery is unacceptable and we must all work towards ending it. The awareness generated through documentaries like Trapped by Tradition is very important for combating this serious global issue."

In ‘Trapped by Tradition‘, Anil Kapoor visited the Bharatpur district of North India to highlight how many young girls and women are sold into the sex trade, often by members of their own family. The documentary followed Kapoor as he spent time with young girls and women who had been forced into joining the sex trade. The documentary also highlighted the on-ground changes which are coming out via better education and the efforts of organizations like Plan India as young girls and women learn about lifestyle choices outside Bharatpur and India‘s sex trade.

MUMBAI: Reliance Home Video & Games has released the Blu-ray and DVDs of Tom Cruise-starrer Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol.

Boasting "a bullet train of action and an arsenal of cool gadgets" (David Germain, Associated Press), Mission Impossible - Ghost Protocol delivers non-stop thrills and breathtaking stunts including a dizzying ascent up the world?s tallest building that Roger Ebert called "one of the most spellbinding stretches of film I?ve seen".

The film has Tom Cruise returning as IMF agent Ethan Hunt, along with an exceptional cast of actors including Jeremy Renner (The Hurt Locker), Simon Pegg (Star Trek), Paula Patton (Precious) and Michael Nyqvist (The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo).

The cast also includes Anil Kapoor with certain portions of the movie also being shot in India. Blamed for the terrorist bombing of the Kremlin, IMF operative Ethan Hunt is disavowed along with the rest of the agency when the President initiates Ghost Protocol.

Left without any resources or backup, Ethan must find a way to clear his agency?s name and prevent another attack. To complicate matters further, Ethan is forced to embark on this mission with a team of fellow IMF fugitives whose personal motives he does not fully know.

The film, directed by Brad Bird and produced by Tom Cruise, J.J. Abrams and Bryan Burk, is based on the television series created by Bruce Geller.

While the DVD is available at Rs.599, the Blu-ray is available at Rs.1299. The film is also available in Hindi (DVD - Rs.125; VCD - Rs.115), Telugu (VCD - Rs.99) and Tamil (DVD - Rs.125). Fans of the franchise can pick up the Blu-ray 4-Movie Set for Rs.3999 or DVD 4-Movie set for Rs.1299 that includes all the four Mission Impossible films in one box-set.
