Durgaa Maa

The Superintendent of Police of a town in India finds an abandoned female baby on the footsteps of Devi Maa Durga's Mandir, takes her home, much to chagrin of his wife, Shanta, adopts her and names her Parvati, who grows up to be a staunch devotee of Devi Maa Durga but is subjected to emotional and physical abuse by Shanta. When her foster father finds out that she is attracted to a poor newspaper delivery boy and the Mandir's flute-player, Shankar, he arranges their marriage, and even lets them live in a shanty hut that he owns in the same town. Parvati must, however, attend to the daily chores which include cooking, cleaning, and washing dirty dishes in Shanta's house. The couple soon become parents of a daughter and name her Durga. The town's money-lender Karodimal Mahajan, in his quest for more wealth, solicits the services of Harihar Swami, who asks him to perform the sacrifice of a young 7 year old healthy girl who is free of all physical and mental ailments. Watch what happens when Karodimal selects Durga for this sacrifice.

Amish Stud: The Eli Weaver Story

1 hr 25 mins
While he's out fishing with his Mennonite friend Jeremiah Peters on the morning of 2 June, Amish Eli Weaver receives a message via a call to Jeremiah's cell phone that Eli's wife, 29-year-old Barbara Weaver, has been found shot dead in their bed. While the Amish elders want to deal with the issue solely within their community, the Wayne County Sheriff's Department is forced to investigate in the murder having taken place in their jurisdiction, the two investigators being Detectives Bruce London and Mike Maxwell. What is subsequently shown is the current investigation interspersed with flashbacks of Eli and Barbara's life, which Eli admits to the investigators was not always perfect. Those flashbacks show that prior to their marriage, Barbara wanted to marry for romantic love, which is not the Amish way. Eli seemingly wanted the same; he was the black sheep of his family in not always adhering to Amish strictures. London and Maxwell have their theories of who the murderer is; they suspect Eli, who isn't reacting like a typical grieving husband and father, but they know they'll have problems finding evidence because the Amish Eli will have no digital footprint; and the community's sole telephone is a public one for emergencies, usable by anyone. They hope that the unofficial traditional Amish communication network, rampant gossip, will provide some clues. They find that some talk emerges in the form of a collection of women not in the community who were a part of Eli's secret life as the Amish Stud.
