Harsh Realities, 5 July 2007
9/10
Author: psalm118 from United States

This movie took daring to produce in portraying what 50 million widows are subjected to in India. I had just learned of their plight ten years ago and was appalled at what they were forced to go through. I thought such societal behavior was overcome decades ago.

This movie gives the simple truths of four lives and how they faced widowhood. I pray this work will wake up the leaders to reach out to this precious oppressed segment of their society. We need to remember that many of the widows of India also have children. Forcing them out creates millions of orphans. The bleed of the needs of these women and children is a weight that will hold back a country that is filled with so many gifted people who can do so much, but more importantly, deserve to be treated with respect as human beings. I am so pleased that some of their stories are being told here.
