Salma

The film chronicles the life of Salma, who was locked away by her family for 25 years, denied education, and forced into marriage. Despite these oppressive circumstances, she found solace in writing.

Eventually, her poetry reached the hands of a publisher, leading to her emergence as one of the most recognized Tamil poets. "Salma" highlights her journey of self-discovery and challenges the restrictive traditions of her village. This documentary is a powerful exploration of how creativity can serve as a means of liberation and empowerment.
