Former Bollywood actor and No More Tears NGO founder Somy Ali, who is also a director and producer, is on cloud nine as her Gray has been selected for a screening at the South Asian International Film Festival of Florida (SAIFFF). The short documentary is scheduled to screen on February 22 at the NCG Cinemas. Gray revolves around society’s shift towards rigidity and the evasion of fundamental rights. The documentary, through its engaging story, compels the audience to ask questions about the repercussions these will have.
Somy took to Instagram to share her excitement and wrote, “I am so excited to have my short chosen at the South Asian International Film Festival Florida. After going to three film schools, I got wrapped up in my nonprofit organisation and call it an epiphany in three months. The Somy Ali Productions, LLC came alive. And now I can finally highlight the issues that are impacting our world for the worse. Now I can, through my films, take another stand on several subjects that have been troubling me for years. 2025 is @nomoretearsusa’s 18th year with over 55,000 lives saved, and over 24,000 of those lives were brought to the U.S. from India and rescued by No More Tears, so don’t literally get murdered. Be it countless children sold into human trafficking, which, by the way, we should all know that India and Bangladesh are the highest-ranking countries when it comes to bringing children as young as five years old to be sold to human trafficking gangs in the U.S. There are many subjects that are taboo, and now with the birth of (SAP) Somy Ali Productions, I can act, write, direct, and produce. Simply fulfill my second love after No More Tears. Looking forward to new friendships in Tampa and changing our world through the creative license we all carry called ART.” She continued, “GRAY is a short documentary that examines society’s shift toward a more rigid and unimaginative state, exploring the erosion of fundamental rights. Through powerful visuals and compelling narratives, GRAY questions the cost of this regression and challenges viewers to reconsider the path we are on.”
