| Azadeh Navai’s short film follows a rebellious girl in Iran who asks questions about when and why she needs to wear a hijab. This dramatization of a little girl’s questions shows her desire to be free — to make an innocent choice for herself that goes against societal rules. We can wonder about our own resistance to societal rules that don’t make sense to us. One aspect of freedom means being able to act without fear of retaliation or threats to our own safety. In Western society we may ask why must some men wear a tie to work? Why do women feel compelled to color or straighten their hair? Why do many people feel obliged to follow unjust or nonsensical rules they don’t agree with? Many of these questions are bravely and symbolically confronted by a little girl who takes her photo as she likes to see herself and challenges us to consider how we might be free enough to choose our own way as well. |

Dr. Suri Srimathi, 92, on Six Decades of Medical Practice in India
Dr. Suri Srimathi began studying to become a doctor in an era when it was frowned upon. At age 92, she has delivered 200,000 babies and counting, as she still performs her medical care as if in her heyday. She has not only birthed babies, but has birthed and nurtured care for women’s wellbeing in India. Child marriages, large families, maternal deaths, stillbirths, and newborn deaths have seen dramatic declines over the years. Times when she performed deliveries on minor pregnant girls or the 13th delivery of a child from the same couple are rare these days. Dr. Srimathi still feels joy “in the babies she has helped bring into the world, the mothers who returned home safely, and the quiet promise that care will continue in the hands of those who follow.”
