Petals in the Dust: The Endangered Indian Girls examines the condition
of an endangered class of people living in one of the most populous,
culturally and economic vibrant countries: modern India. They come
from all walks of life and share only one common trait: they are
female. A patriarchal mindset, a preference for sons and a deep-seated
intolerance has led to the murder of 50 million girls and women in
India in the last century. They continue to lose their lives in this
century to infanticide, sex-selective abortions, starvation and
medical neglect, dowry deaths and brutal gang rapes. The declining
female population is also leading to increased crimes against women
including trafficking and bride buying. Doors open at 7pm. Film starts
at 7:30pm. Free snacks and popcorn!
