In 2020, Inediz produced a short film to raise awareness on noma on social media. Selected for the inaugural Health for All Film Festival organised by the World Health Organization, this film has since then been featured in dozens of other festivals and events globally. It's available on YouTube, including to be embedded on external websites, with subtitles in 10 languages : Arabic, Catalan, Chinese, Czech, English, French, German, Korean, Russian and Spanish.
