Dance within
Description
As one lifelong Calcutta resident says in this program, "the breakup of large families is affecting older people, especially women." This program looks at how a changing society in India has forced many senior citizens to fend for themselves. The program focuses on several older women whose husbands have died and whose children have grown up and started families of their own. In the absence of extensive state-run programs for the elderly, these women have learned to draw on their own inner resources. A United Nations Production.
