Inspired by the 2006 Academy Award® nominee for Best Foreign Language film, “Water,” this documentary tells the story of some of the 20 million Indian widows who are abandoned by their families and literally turned out into the streets when their husbands died. “Water” was a fictional recounting of this terrible tradition, set in 1938. “The Forgotten Woman” is true, and happening today. |
