Director Statement

Gender and violence are intrinsically linked. Urbanisation of traditional societies and the influx of working women and men from 'outside' are changing the gender dynamics of our cities. In this film, we work with women's voices to probe the overt and covert structures of control and the indomitable struggle for agency and selfhood.
