The strange story of Blasting Betty talks about how womanhood was perceived by society back then and the reaction of men when they came across someone who broke all the perceptions as well as gender roles. The short film reiterates that women need love, respect and a sense of safety from men around her helping Betty behave normally in their presence. The cinematic piece highlights the importance of becoming confident, strong, and courageous to combat the social pressure all the ladies tend to go through at some point of time in their lives and choose better lifestyle for themselves as well as their loved ones in the long run.
