| Summary |
This series examines the experiences of four women fighting for social justice. Fathima Burnad is fighting to change a social structure that has existed for 3,000 years. In India, where the caste system has created apartheid-like discrimination, child labour is common and women have few rights. Worst off are the 160 million people in the landless, lowest caste the Dalits or "untouchables", who live without access to basic necessities and are often targets of violence. (A Film Australia production, commissioned by SBS Independent, in English and Tamil, English subtitles) |
