>> 'Tribute to animal wisdom': John Abraham on 'Oslo' premiere
Actor John Abraham-backed documentary 'Oslo: A Tail of Promise' will have its world premiere at the much-awaited film festival. As per a press release shared by the makers, the film "is a deeply felt, non-linear documentary that traces the extraordinary companionship between a Siberian husky, Oslo and Pooja R Bhale, founder of the Protecterra Ecological Foundation."
Reflecting on the film, John said, “Animals don’t need us. We need them more, for grounding, for healing, for the unconditional love they offer without ever asking for anything in return. 'Oslo: A Tail of Promise' is a tribute to that truth, and I am grateful that IFFI is giving this story the space it deserves.”
