Priyanka will lead the discussion on the impact of cinema on international public opinion in a session titled ‘Why Does the Screen Have so Much Impact on Public Opinion’ on the opening day of the ninth International Government Communication Forum (IGCF) on March 4.

She will also "analyse how it impacts societies by highlighting differences and reinforcing stereotypes".
