August 18: Panihari: The Water Women of India (2006)
The film centers on the Panihari (women who fetch water) and one woman, Paru, a shoemaker’s wife, as she struggles against nature and society to attain self-reliance for her family and herself. Paru’s story coveys the richness and complexity of desert life as well as the extreme obstacles women in India still face today.
