Sada Ronger Prithibi (white earth) by Raajhorshee De is a film based on widow trafficking in India.The film will celebrate Kashi, still a chosen abode for many widows in India, in a unique way through its thriller story.
The poster launch was held on Wednesday at Nandan, the cultural hub of West Bengal. This is the first film in India on widow trafficking, which has not been done in any other language so far.
It explores the colourless world of widows in Varanasi whose lives are bleached like their white sarees.
But the pristine exterior hides the devious machinations of criminal masterminds who are out to exploit these unfortunate women. Things get complicated when a young police officer comes to investigate the shelter, but little does she know about the dangers that await her as she disguises herself as one of the inmates of the shelter to unearth the truth.
Will she be able to overcome the political pressures and other threats in her attempt to fight the evil lurking unseen?
Presented by Adarsh Telemedia and Amit Agarwal and produced by Sushant Sengupta, Shrravonii Pal, and Raajhorshee De, this film has 19 top actors from Bengal. The story will highlight the plights of the widows, the crimes committed against them, and the age-old customs that bind them to a restrictive lifestyle.
