Premiere of...
WOMAN by WOMAN
New Hope for the Villages of India (30 min)
PRODUCED by Dorothy Fadiman & Kristin Atwell
in collaboration with KQED-TV
Funded by the DAVID & LUCILE PACKARD FOUNDATION
A new documentary about women of vision and courage in rural
India who are "lifting their veils" and coming out of seclusion in
order to serve in their communities.
OCTOBER 19 through 25, 2001
WOMAN by WOMAN (28 min) documents the story of progressive
change for women in some of the least developed villages of India.
Vivid images portray the humanity of the people, the beauty of the
countryside, as well as the poignant toll of centuries of poverty. In
the film we meet women who are coming out of seclusion in order
to serve in their communities. We also meet individuals who
support these efforts - a woman who teaches village women to
become family planning counselors; a village husband who works
side-by-side with his wife, in a culture which is traditionally male-
dominated; a mother-in-law who encourages her daughter-in-law to
advance in the community rather than seclude herself in the house.
The film also documents the work of Janani, one of the non-profit
groups in India which works to improve the status of Indian village
women by encouraging them to make family planning resources
and information available to their female neighbors.
