UK Premiere screening of “Understanding Trafficking”

plus Q&A with the director Ananya Chatterjee Chakraborti
Monday 16th November, 2009 Goldsmiths Cinema
(Richard Hoggart Building, New Cross, SE14)
::part of Cinema Typhoon::

Legend goes, there is a magical line that Laxman drew around Sita, which no woman is supposed to cross.
If any woman dared to cross the magical line, she would risk being kidnapped by Ravan the demon.

Women have for centuries been discouraged to cross the line, to remain indoors, and within limits.
The lines and limits of their existence have always been defined by patriarchy.
So what happens if a woman does cross the line?
By circumstances, through need, or just by a desire to dare the magical line?
