WOMAN BY WOMAN documents progressive change for women in some of the least developed villages of India. Vivid images portray the humanity of the people, the beauty of the countryside, as well as the toll of centuries of poverty. In the film we meet women who are coming out of seclusion in order to serve in their communities. The film documents the work of one of the non-profit groups in India working to improve the status of Indian village women and men by making family planning resourcesÃÂÃÂand information widely available.
