Water

The movie Water gives the audience an insight into the injustice that widowed women face in India. I would have never thought that just because a women's husband died that a women would have to go live in an Ashram and shave her head as well as not have ties with her family anymore. The movie also gave insight into how water is very important and sacred to the people of India. It is used for so many different things in India including cleansing, becoming pure, a place where bodies are placed when people die, and also used as a holy substance when the old women was dying.
