There is no story. It is aftermath. How India behaves and is a stage for the widows. They are not even real widows; married at the age of four or five or worse months after they are born. These widows are estranged by their families, their in-laws and it is pathetic how they still strive to live.
Even today, the neglect they experience from a contemporary Indian society, it is unnerving to view the truth and Dilip Mehta accomplishes to do it. A marvelous work by the Mehta siblings.
The Forgotten Woman is a great documentary related to the Oscar nominated 2005 film Water and perfectly fits as a complementary to it. If you have watched Water, then do watch this brilliant piece of direction, moreover a realistic approach to the negative side of the colorful country, India.
