White Rainbow (2004)
Moving film, akin to "Not Without My Daughter"
16 July 2007 - 1 out of 1 users found this review helpful.
This movie highlights a current problem in India and is akin to "Not Without My Daughter" in that it sheds light on a negative situation that is ingrained in the culture and accepted by many. It is a controversial film because of the subject matter. However, the filmmakers bravely portray the truth.
Once these women are widowed, they give up everything and are made to wear white. It's their 'sentence' for having a husband die. The main character is an educated widow who decides to go to Vrindavan to make a difference in the lives of other widows.
This is a problem that transcends all cultures--it is a problem of control and a problem of abuse. This moving Indie film is a cinematic triumph.
