From Woman, Man is Born

"From Women, Man is Born" uses the Sikh value of equality as its theme, with a specific focus on gender equality. The filmmakers chose to show gender (in)equality over a long time span, showing how young girls are discriminated on the sports field just as women are in the workforce with unequal pay rates. Using Sheryl Sandberg's (COO of Facebook) book "Lean In" as inspiration, the film effectively integrated core values of Sikhism with modern-day issues.
