Twentieth Century Fox Home Ent Water [DVD]

Extremist groups waged a campaign of death threats, arson and riots to stop
the production of this controversial film, but director Deepa Mehta would not
be silenced. Set against Gandhi's rise to power, Water tells the profoundly
moving story of Chuyia, an Indian girl married and widowed at eight years old,
who is sent away to a home where Hindu widows must live in penitence. Chuyia's
feisty presence deeply affects the other residents, forcing each to confront
their faith and society's prejudices.
