Amid a raging row over Doordarshan airing The Kerala Story, the Idukki Catholic diocese in Kerala has screened the film for teenagers as part of an “intensive training programme”. The diocese claimed the movie was shown to “create awareness about love relationships and its consequences and dangers”. The students were asked to discuss the film on their Whatsapp groups.
