Findlay, Ohio – The University of Findlay will host a movie night as part of a series titled “India On Campus” on Thursday, Dec. 1 at 7 p.m. in Pfieffer Lecture Hall in the Gardner Fine Arts Pavilion.

“Mrityudand,” which is Hindi for “Death Sentence,” tells the story of three women in a Bihari village who revolt collectively against the stifling male domination and abuse that defines their lives.  Some of the issues addressed in the movie are patriarchy, caste politics, political skullduggery and how religion is used as a tool of oppression.

A discussion on social and cultural differences in the U.S. and India will take place after the showing of the film.
