INVOKING JUSTICE: A Special Screening
Director Deepa Dhanraj | India | 85 min
In Southern India, family disputes are settled by Jamaats, all-male bodies which apply Islamic Shari’ah law to cases without allowing women to be present, even to defend themselves. Recognizing this fundamental inequity, a group of women establish a women’s Jamaat to hold their male counterparts and local police accountable, aiming to reform a profoundly corrupt and discriminatory system.
Asian CineVision presents a special screening of Invoking Justice, co-sponsored by the film’s distributor Women Make Movies.
