Examines the roles and duties of the
women in a typical extended family of
land-owning peasants in Gujarat, India.
Most village women have little choice but
to enter into arranged marriages that
restrict them to child bearing and domestic
work. However, the feelings of affection
developed from working and living
together, combined with the memories of
close family ties to distant kin provided by

opportunity for a tolerable and even joyous
life.

WORLD HISTORY
900 900 DAYS
DAYS
Directed by Jessica Gorter
Is it better to acknowledge an unpalatable
truth or to embrace the comfort of myth?
Jessica Gorter's 900 DAYS contrasts the
devastating and unforgettable stories
recounted by survivors of the Siege of
Leningrad, the infamous German
blockade, which caused the deaths of
more than 1 million people during World
War II, with the triumphant memorials
fabricated by the Russian state.
The blockade, one of the most incredible,
defining events of World War II, remains
largely unremembered outside of Russia.
In September 1941, the 3 million
inhabitants of the city now known as St.
Petersburg were trapped without food or
drinking water. For 900 days of subzero
temperatures, people had to eat glue,
leather soles, cats, and perhaps even their
fellow human beings. When the city finally
opened up again, nearly a million had
died.
Immediately after the war, investigations of
the blockade were forbidden. The Soviet
propaganda machine transformed the
survivors into a symbol of national heroism,
silencing any questions about Stalin's war
policy and its toll on the lives of ordinary
Russians.
In 900 DAYS, Gorter employs newly
declassified material from the Secret
Service archives that reveals, in coldly
impersonal statistics, the extent of
cannibalism in the blockaded city and the
population's fury with their own authorities.
Footage of present-day Russian
memorials to the survivors of the siege
illustrate the persistence of the official,
heroic account of the event even in light of
this new information.
Elsewhere in the film, survivors speak
openly, many for the first time in their lives,
about their experiences and the post-war
censorship. Their painful memories
overshadow the public myth in which
some of them had previously participated.
All their lives they have been told they
were heroes who guided the country
toward victory, but they are increasingly
aware that true recognition of their
traumatic experience and the ruinous
policies that allowed it to continue is still,
even after half a century, far away.
Reviews
���� "Superb! A throat-gripping look at
history and its continuing ramifications.
Captures in 77 deeply troubling minutes
the contradiction between the oficial
version of a heroic populace persevering
for the Motherland, and the private
bitterness of a people disgusted by the
way the Soviets and their heirs avoid
questions of responsibility. Beautifully
integrates past and present...900 DAYS
shows that even grasping the horrors on
an individual level is ultimately a task few
are capable of comprehending." - Jay
Weissberg, Variety
� "These stories are not for the faint
of heart. But the documentary will help
students to understand the difference
between memory and history, and
between the heroic stories states often tell
about wars and the suppression of the real
events that did not fit their narratives. As
such, this is an ideal documentary to show
in any history class dealing with World War
II or Soviet history." - Educational Media
