Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women (2003)
Plot
Matrubhoomi: A Nation Without Women (transl. Motherland: A Nation Without Women) is a 2003 Indian dystopian tragedy film written and directed by Manish Jha. The film examines the impact of female feticide and female infanticide on the gender balance and consequently the stability and attitudes of society. Its storyline bears some resemblance to real-life instances of gender imbalance and economics resulting in fraternal polyandry and bride buying in some parts of India. It depicts a future in an Indian village populated exclusively by males due to female infanticide over the years. Matrubhoomi received widespread critical acclaim and was shown at festivals through 2003, including the 2003 Venice Film Festival, where it was presented in the Critic's Week (Parallel Sections) and later awarded the FIPRESCI Award "For it's [sic] important theme on women's issues and female infanticide handled with sensitivity by a first-time director".
