Safar

Safar is a film about a sixteen year old girl, Gouri, who comes from a small village in the South of India. Sold by her parents to God as a part of the Devadasi tradition and forced into prostitution at a young age, the film begins when Gouri decides to change the course of her life. She leaves the seedy interiors of her friend Lakshmi's home to begin work as a maid with Dhan, an old lady who has just lost her husband. But just as she seems to find her feet, her past rears its ugly head again. While Safar is the personal story of a young Hindu girl Gouri, it is set against the backdrop of the city of Mumbai. A city that is thronged by thousands of people everyday, people from different parts of the country, people with very different class, caste, social and religious backgrounds. Through Gouri's interactions with Dhan, an old Parsi lady, and Salim, a middle-aged Muslim taxi driver, individual and shared experiences of loneliness, longing and the indomitable human spirit come alive in this gargantuan city.

Women of the West

While due credit must be given to those women who have, by their wisdom, counsel and support made our domestic conditions what they are to-day, the wonderful prosperity of the United States as a whole is due to the extraordinary resources of the west, and therefore the places of honor in the niches of history rightfully belong to the women who so nobly assisted in settling and populating the great west. Stop and reflect what fortitude those women showed in venturing into the unknown wilderness, what heroism they displayed, surrounded by hostile Indians, and sacrificing their lives to eventually benefit all mankind. History is replete with the many instances of those acts, but mere words can but poorly represent to the mind the details of the exact incidents. To be able to view the actual occurrence cannot but indelibly impress upon the mind what we really owe these women pioneers. To see the simple life of these people, their sports, pleasures and hardships, and how, when the men folk are attending a country election, the red men take advantage of the situation and pillage and burn their homes. But better still to visually observe how these women, reared to danger, bravely protected their lives and property and also the wild rides of some of the women to warn their neighbors and bring the men to their rescue.
