Kali’s Daughter (2018)
Synopsis:
This film presents the story of a young woman trapped within the cycle of violence after being forced to marry her rapist in a rural village in Sri Lanka. The lack of awareness of justice systems and the patriarchal power relations of close-knit rural communities further entraps her within the cycle of violence she is attempting to leave. In a decisive moment, she chooses to free herself and find strength in womanhood, transforming from the submissive role of wife to the punisher of her perpetrator. Clad in her red wedding sari, in a magically realistic moment at a shrine of the powerful destroyer of evil, goddess Kali, she transforms into an emblem for fighting the violence with which she was forced to live - becoming a true daughter of Kali.
