movie blurb...water

Christianity Today gives Water 3.5 out of 4 stars...PG-13: "Movies like Water pose an interesting challenge for the Christian viewer. Set in the 1930s, the film is a strong critique of the treatment of widows within traditional Hinduism, and Christians who believe in the God-given dignity of all human beings would agree that Indian society needed reformation on this point (and perhaps, in some quarters, it still does). Indeed, as far back as the 18th century, missionaries like William Carey played a significant part in putting a stop to practises like suttee, whereby widows were burned to death on their husbands' funeral pyres. But in this day and age, religions are not supposed to impose their beliefs on other cultures, so this film's social critique is rooted in basically secular principles—principles which, broadly applied, could undermine religious belief in general."
