17 year old boy from Lucknow named Aditya has been awarded with the Golden Beaver Award at seventh National Science Film festival for creating a documentary on psychopaths. The festival was held in Kolkata. Last year, he also won the same award for his documentary: Ants: A Tiny Creature.
For winning he was given a reward of Rs 50,000 in category D for films made by studnets.
He said "the rising rate of crime in the country was a triggering point that motivated him to make this movie."
Aditya, who is a student of class 12 of Manipal Public School said," It is a thrilling experience to win an award for two years in a row. The documentary titled 'Brain's Fault' explains how the physical and biological condition of the brain makes a person criminal before his birth. These people are called psychopaths in medical science."
