The third of a trilogy starting with Fire and Earth, Water is yet another intriguing movie by writer and director Deepa Mehta. It is a strong portrayal of the plight of widows in India who till today are considered a pariah or outcast. Set in the 1930’s, Water is a shocking depiction of the lives of widows during this period, which according to the Hindu religion meant that the woman either burnt herself alive (Sati, as it is known) with her dead husband or lived a segregated life away from society.
