Though the previous film was fictional and set in 1938 India, THE FORGOTTEN WOMAN looks at the lives of widowed women in the country now. After drawing attention to the plight of Indian widows with the highly praised film WATER, filmmaker Deepa Mehta teams with her brother Dilip for this documentary. Though decades have passed, these women are still forced to endure loneliness and separation as a result of the death of their husbands

Set in the 1930s, the film tells the story of eight-year old Chuyia, whose husband dies before she even meets him. When Deepa Mehta first began filming WATER in 2000, angry fundamentalist mobs burned her sets and threatened her life. Her film has raised the ire of extremists because it challenges the Hindu customs that dictate that widows, considered half-dead after the loss of their husbands, must be closeted in holy ashrams--a practice that still exists today. The Indian government claimed it could not protect her, and the project had to wait four years before finally filming in Sri Lanka. Chuyia, feisty and resilient, comes into this world like a ray of light, and soon the women are rethinking their mute acceptance of their fate. Her parents shave her head and whisk her away to a house of widows where the women sleep on the ground and beg in the streets to earn their puny portion of rice.
