NIFFA - Parched (Hindi) - In Conversation with Leena Yadav

A searing yet ultimately uplifting story of female friendship, repression, and liberation set against one of India's harshest landscapes, Parched follows four ordinary women bound together in a remote Gujarati desert village where centuries of tradition dictate every breath they take. Weighed down by child marriage, marital abuse, and the quiet violence of a patriarchal order that treats them as property, Rani, Lajjo, Bijli, and Janaki carve out stolen moments of laughter, tenderness, and rebellion — confiding in one another about the lives they were never allowed to choose. As the cracked, sun-scorched earth mirrors the emptiness of the existence forced upon them, their shared defiance slowly hardens into courage, until the bonds between them become the very thing that frees them — driving them, at last, toward a horizon and a future on their own terms.<div><br></div><div><b>Preceded by an in-person Q&amp;A with director, Leena Yadav!</b></div>DramaPT2H28MCTC2026-07-05
