DIRECTORS WHO EXPLORE THIS

Mira Nair India/USA

Through films such as 'Monsoon Wedding' and 'Salaam Bombay!', she examines forced marriage as a collision between tradition and individual agency in South Asian societies.

Cristian Mungiu Romania

His intimate, unflinching narratives in films like '4 Months, 3 Weeks and 2 Days' capture the coercive power dynamics and systemic pressures that trap individuals in marriages without consent.
