ShIVAR event: Screening of SPENT: Fighting Economic Abuse in India, 14th May at 12pm (online)
The documentary SPENT – Fighting Economic Abuse in India, explores women’s experience of economic abuse and their fight against it. As part of the project, 50 women across a range of occupations, class, religious and caste categories were interviewed. This film is based on stories of five women who took part in this project. The film hopes to bring out these women's resilience and spirit in the face of economic abuse. The film has won multiple awards (at the Folkstone film festival, the Cannes world Film Festival, and the Crown Wood International Film Festival) and has been widely covered in media nationally and internationally.
The film explores themes of domestic violence - viewer discretion is advised.
