Arshaan was drawn into filmmaking through a series of workshops and training programmes conducted by the Queensland Division of the United Nations in Australia. Generation Green delves deep into the issue of climate change, highlighting the urgent need for environmental conservation. Through the documentary, he aims to inspire people to work collectively for a greener and more sustainable future.
Arshaan’s work goes beyond the screen. It is a call to action that challenges individuals, communities, and nations to take meaningful steps to combat climate change. His dedication to advocating for a greener and more sustainable future is an inspiration to people of all ages. Arshaan has also launched a project to reduce the effect of climate change in the same name, which is to be launched in the city soon.
