What the Birds Want to Say is a Malayalam feature film that encompasses the highly stigmatized social phenomenon of child abuse. Following Meenakshi - a 13 year old girl who is the primary caretaker of her bedridden mother, who starts facing intense character deviations and psychological degradation as a result of sexual abuse, this film brings to light the children we failed to protect. Nilanjana, who plays the lead Meenakshi, won multiple Best Actress awards for this film and is internationally recognized for this performance.
