2 DVDs Deutsch · DVD

lajja is a journey...
from the opulent city of new york to a remote village in uttar pradesh...
from the adobe of the rich, to the corner of the poor...
from the silence of a martyr to the outcry of a rebel...
a journey that is unified by an astonishing discovery - that a woman, wherever, whenever, has to face mankind at its heniour worst.
as the journey extends so does the intensity of her misery...
why is vaidehi's womb the only weapon to fight the atrocieties that she has to face?
why should maithili's head humiliatingly bend, just because she is a daughter?
why must society mercilessly crush jank's desire to live on her own terms?
why is it that silence follows, when ramdulaari is gangraped and left to flames?
as these questions emerge, they bring with them, an indigance, a resolve, a power...
to stand up, to revolt to combat!
when tears stop... a revolution begins...
