We all wish to live in a world without violence. Orange Brigade is a project that uses cinema as its main advocacy and awareness tool.
Orange Brigade is a thought-provoking and eye-opening initiative that aims to deal with the alarming increase in violence against women and children. It is a program of CREATE which strives to change lives by employing the use of cinema as a beneficial tool for spreading awareness about this issue.

It was as a result of this movement that the Orange Brigade was formed to better inform and prepare our children by torch lighting the issues through theatre and cine
