Description:
Extremist groups waged a campaign of death threats, arson and riots to stop the production of this controversial film, but director Deepa Mehta would not be silenced. Set against Gandhi's rise to power, Water tells the profoundly moving story of Chuyia, an Indian girl married and widowed at eight years old, who is sent away to a home where Hindu widows must live in penitence. Chuyia's feisty presence deeply affects the other residents, forcing each to confront their faith and society's prejudices.

Much better than the silly Indian singing/dancing movies you can catch on Saturday morning TV. I loved the ending when the widow gave the little girl to Ghandi as the train moved away from the station. Enjoy!

I have a very close connection to this theme because i am also related to India by marriage, and have lived there for years off and ... Read More

I didn't really know what to expect about "Water" except that it was an Oscar nominee for Best Foreign Language Film (generally a good category for "sleepers"). It didn't take long before I got drawn into the story and, especially, the characters. The picture takes place in 1938 India and Ghandi was a sort of supporting role in formulating the plot. We start the movie by witnessing a young girl (we're talking somewhere around 7-9 years old) finding out she's a widow. We then find out that widows ... Read More
