Cultural/Spiritual Perspective of Water

The film Water deals with the treatment of widows, based on the scriptures followed by Hindus and the ideologies that they have formed. It exemplifies the gender based oppressive practices and general social disparities that are justifiable through religious doctrine. The element of water guides the spiritual journey through everyday life. This is a heartbreaking story because even when there was a gleam of hope, it was shattered, reaffirming the reality of the often insurmountable struggles many face in their fight for freedom or change.
