Spotlight on India
New Directors Competition
Marching in the Dark
Marching in the Dark
Sanjivani, a young widow in rural India, grapples with devastating loss after her husband, a farmer, committed suicide —one of thousands each year in India’s agriculture sectors. Now absorbed into her brother-in-law’s family, Sanjivani and her two children struggle to be respected. Sanjivani’s efforts to regain self-determination and a semblance of control over her life are compounded by the traditional social stigmas and dogmas attached to widowhood in her community. When Sanjivani joins a local support group for widows-only, she unexpectedly embarks upon a transformative journey of discovery with the other women as they share their grief with each other.
Presented at the CPH:DOX, where it received a special mention in the HUMAN:RIGHTS Award competition, and at the Hot Docs film festivals.
