About This Movie

'The Forgotten Woman' is a 2008 documentary directed by Dilip Mehta. This film explores the harsh realities faced by Indian widows who are abandoned by their families, providing a stark contrast to the fictional narrative of the Oscar-nominated film 'Water.'

This documentary runs for 88 minutes and sheds light on the plight of approximately 20 million Indian widows who experience severe social ostracism after the death of their husbands. Unlike 'Water,' which is set in 1938 and dramatizes the same issue, 'The Forgotten Woman' presents a contemporary perspective, revealing that these injustices persist in today's society.

For collectors, this film is available on DVD, making it a tangible piece of media that captures an important social issue. The documentary serves as a powerful reminder of the ongoing struggles faced by these women and is an important addition to any collection focused on human rights or social justice themes.
