The webdoc Voice of Mother India is about 5 women with diverse backgrounds: A tattoo artist from Mumbai speaking about her friendship marriage. A spiritual retired lawyer fighting for women rights. A muslim school girl visiting a catholic school. A christian nurse working in the rural country of Madhya Pradesh. A Hindu wife working at a women empowerment centre in the desert of Thar.
The western picture of an Indian women is dominated with discrimination, rape and pain. No doubt - for a lot of women that is a hard reality but there is also hope and change in society. Feminist movements like #IWILLGOOUT or #feminisminindia pick up their fight against patriarchy. The film installation shows these little social movements and explain the diversity of India.
The installation is free for all festival visitors.
