MARCHING IN THE DARK
Intent on providing a better life for herself and her children after her former husband’s suicide, Sanjivani struggles against her culture’s traditional abandonment of widows, until she joins a discussion group with other farmer-suicide widows. Empowered by community, shared stories of resilience, and unexpected solidarity, Sanjivani cautiously forges a path forward.
