A film about the emancipation of young Indian women in a rural area threatened by climate change and farmers' suicides.

synopsis

In drought-struck rural areas of India, chemical farming has led to soil depletion and the disappearance of traditional agriculture: thousands of desperate farmers have already died by suicide. Amidst this slow genocide, 15 widow farmers have taken a pledge with psychologist and activist Dr Potdar: what they went through shouldn't happen to anyone else. Sanjeevani felt helpless after the death of her husband. Today she is determined to to change things.
In door droogte geteisterd ruraal gebied van India heeft chemische landbouw geleid tot uitputting van de bodem en het verdwijnen van traditionele landbouw. Duizenden wanhopige boeren stierven al door zelfdoding. Te midden van deze crisis hebben 15 weduwen een belofte gedaan: wat zij alleen hebben doorstaan mag niemand anders overkomen. Verbonden door een gedeelde pijn komen ze met psycholoog en activist Dr. Potdar samen om tekenen van depressie te leren identificeren. Sanjeevani voelde zich hulpeloos na de dood van haar man. Vandaag is ze vastbesloten om het verdriet achter zich te laten. De film zoomt in op de emancipatie van Indiase vrouwen in een gebied bedreigd door klimaatverandering.
