STANDING AGAINST CORRUPTION: OUR INTEGRITY PSA
Introduction
Corruption doesn't really look like what you see in movies. There's no dramatic moment, no obvious villain. It's more like someone asks for a small favor, someone else stays quiet when they shouldn't, and suddenly that's just how things work. That's the part that bothers us most. How normal it becomes.
About Our Project
Eight of us came together to make a PSA about it. Not because we figured something out, but because it felt like something worth saying out loud. We wanted to make something that encouraged people to think twice about honesty, about accountability, about the small choices that quietly add up.
Our PSA doesn't try to cover everything. It focuses on what corruption actually looks like for ordinary people, and what any one of us can do when we see it. We figured the conversation had to start somewhere.
Video Summary
"Two Signatures": A Short Film About the Moment Integrity Gets Tested
Two Signatures, directed by Shlok Shrestha, is built around a situation a lot of students quietly fear: working hard for two years, then finding out one person with the wrong priorities can erase all of it.
The story follows a student on the verge of dropping out. A scholarship is his only way forward. But the process is rigged. A corrupt official pushes aside a deserving candidate named Sanjin, not because of his record, but because the system rewards compliance over merit. When a subordinate refuses to go along with forging documents, the official's response is blunt: "You won't last long with an attitude like that."
That exchange is the heart of the film. The subordinate isn't naive; he knows exactly what refusing costs him. But he says something that sticks: staying clean kept him from becoming "a type of convenience" for people like that. He pushes back with a question that doesn't have an easy answer: Can one person change a corrupt system? His answer: not alone. But silence guarantees nothing changes.
The film doesn't dress this up. There's no tidy resolution, no moment where doing the right thing suddenly becomes painless. What it shows instead is that corruption doesn't survive on greed alone; it survives on people deciding it's not worth the trouble to resist. "Comfort," as the film puts it, "is a back door for corruption."
For a student film, Two Signatures carries real weight. It's worth watching and worth sharing.
The video ends with: "Be the change. Choose integrity." Simple, but we meant it.

15 March 2025 — Social Media Campaign Launched All group members actively participated in our Instagram campaign to spread the anti-corruption message.
Social Media Campaign
Alongside the video, we ran an Instagram campaign with posts, infographics, and some behind-the-scenes clips from filming. Every group member shared content and engaged with their own networks. The response was more than we expected for something that started as a class project. People passed it on, commented, and asked questions. It made the whole thing feel less like an assignment and more like an actual conversation.
Conclusion
Honestly, making this shift has made us think about the topic more than anything else we've studied on it. We sat with some uncomfortable questions about our own choices along the way. If this reaches even one person who pauses before compromising on something that matters, that's enough for us.
Watch the full PSA below. If it's something you think someone else should hear, pass it on.
