Adler & Associates Acquires Documentary Exploring Religion and Patriarchy
Imagine a movie that looks at how some people in India treat women.
It shows how some of their religious beliefs and traditions might not be fair to women.
The movie’s director, Aneek Chaudhuri, wants to show how some beliefs, even religious ones, can be used to treat women unfairly.
It has been shown at film festivals.
It talks about how people celebrate goddesses but sometimes treat real women badly.
The movie hopes to start a discussion about how religion can be used by some people to keep women down, while others try to uplift them.
The goal is to make people think about fairness and equality.
