Water - what a journey this was. This is the film that opened the 2005 Toronto International Film Festival. It is by Candadian Director Deeptah Meta and centres the story of the plight of "widows in India. The story is largely about a 7 year old widow (yes 7) who is taken to a home for widows where she is expected to live out her days. Although set in 1939 the low status of widows in this society continues today. A difficult movie to watch as it has such impact - but worth seeing

This was a remarkable film. I was unsure what to expect and was initially agitated by the subtitles. In no time I was acclimatized and fully engaged in the story. There are incredible injustices around the world and the treatment of widows in India is monstrous. I highly recommend this film.

This film is riveting. One of those films where I sat stunned at the end of it. It is that powerful. Wonderful performances and a story that deeply impacted me. I have read In Cold Blood and have seen the film. To see this movie about the writing/research of the book and the profound effect it had on Truman Capote .
