The Invisible Women - Outcast Widows in India - 25 min., RT ANO TV - Novosti, 2015, director Natalya Kadyrova, ( According to an old Indian superstition, a widow’s sins are to blame for her husband’s death. As a result, widows face a lifetime of atonement. They have to cut their hair short, wear joyless white mourning saris, and they are prohibited from attending celebrations and social events. Some families force widows to leave their homes and beg in the streets. Widows become untouchable, invisible and ignored, as many fear they bring bad luck).
