A “sneak preview” of Leaving Home with Bob Richter ’51 & Mike Mahar ’52
This film tells the powerful women’s rights story of a teen-age girl’s coming of age in a rural village in India, with unique footage of women frankly discussing their roles in marriage and sex. In a way it is the universal story of many young people caught between the traditions of their family’s expectations and the attractions of the big city. In Leaving Home we follow Renu, caught between her dreams of going to Delhi and her village’s traditional culture of arranged marriages, dowries, and the caste system. Present at the screening will be the three-time Oscar nominee producer Bob Richter ’51 and the anthropologist Mike Mahar ’52, with whom Bob collaborated.
Saturday at 3:30 p.m.
