"Fire," Indian film by Deepa Mehta, to be screened for Women's History Month
 In the spirit of celebrating Women’s History Month, The Women's Student Union and Women’s Studies Program of SUNY Fredonia will screen the film “Fire” on March 23, in Jewett Hall 101 at 7:30 p.m. The film is open for viewing by campus and community members free of charge.
The first in a trilogy by the director Deepa Mehta, "Fire" is a drama centered around two wives related by marriage in India. They are brought together by the oppressions of Indian traditions that force them into unwanted marital unions. The film demonstrates the harsh rules and expectations of women in the Indian culture and the emotional strains that results. The two women, in an attempt to overcome their difficulties, form a very moving, and sensual intimate relationship. The 1996 film was the first Indian film to explicitly show homosexual relations.
