Against the backdrop of India's struggle for independence from British colonial rule, "Water" tells the story three women forced into the poverty of a "widow house" and how they went against the Hindu traditions that bound them. | Location map Download a poster for the screening of ''Water'' (PDF, 517K) | Center for Women's and Gender Studies, Austin Film Society |
