Product Description
Description
Widowhood is a curse in India, which almost inevitably leads to social marginalization and the diminished economic standing of women. Conceived as a follow-up to his sister Deepa Mehta's 1930s period drama Water, Dilip Mehta's The Forgotten Woman covers similar ground but in the present tense. Widows of all ages are cast out from their families and communities, often forced to find shelter in temples, earning their keep by praying and chanting ... or facing death on the streets, alone. These are the widows' bitter, sad stories of the harsh reality of their existence, set in the rapidly changing India of today.
