Past Run
Widow of Silence
Her husband arrested, his fate a mystery, a Muslim woman in war-ravaged Kashmir lives in a grueling legal limbo as a "half-widow," battling a cruel bureaucracy while trying to care for her daughter and mother-in-law. Through exquisitely composed visuals deeply influenced by the late Abbas Kiarostami, filmmaker Praveen Morchhale transports the audience into a world of breathtaking beauty and nihilistic bureaucracy rarely shown on screen.
“It packs an unsettling message of empowerment very rare in the social injustice genre.”
— Deborah Young, Hollywood Reporter
