Lord Krishna’s holy city of Vrindavan is the only home for 15,000 women, cast out by families who consider them cursed or a drain on family finances, or who simply want to prevent them inheriting property. They are the victims of a harsh cultural practice that seems almost impossible to understand, without knowing the multi layered society that formed it. In development with support of Hot Docs, Canada
