Join us for a discussion of KAALI KHUHI (THE BLACK WELL), an Indian cinematic ghost story that serves as a commentary on a horrifying-real life social custom. We discuss the film's portrayal of Indian women's politics and position in patriarchy over the generations, examine how well its social commentary works, and somehow find a way to make a "well" pun in even in the midst of this incredibly sobering discussion.
