WATER – In theatres April 28th

See the controversial film Time Magazine proclaims "A Triumph." Set in 1938 Colonial India, against Mahatma Gandhi's rise to power, Water begins when 8-year-old Chuyia is widowed and sent to a home where Hindu widows must live in penitence.  Chuyia's feisty presence deeply affects the lives of the other
residents, including a young widow, who falls for a Gandhian idealist.
