CGiii Comment
A documentary, by the brother, that followed the film by the sister...nothing quite like flogging a nepotistical dead horse.
The Oscar nominated film was, at best, mediocre with bad acting - the documentary is worse.
Silly camera angles, bad lighting, interviews conducted with the camera shoved in the subject's face and too much repetition and unnecessary padding.
Fantastic subject, wondrous locations...a filmmaker's dream.
This brother should not make documentaries, he has neither the eye nor the talent...the sham of nepotism.

Inspired by the 2006 Academy Award® nominee for Best Foreign Language film, "Water," this documentary tells the story of some of the 20 million Indian widows who are abandoned by their families and literally turned out into the streets when their husbands died. "Water" was a fictional recounting of this terrible tradition, set in 1938. "The Forgotten Woman" is true, and happening today.
