520    This provocative documentary, which explores the role of 
       women in a Muslim-dominated village in Rajasthan, in 
       northern India, is original, compelling, and instructive, 
       and it is sure to stimulate discussion and analysis in any
       course that studies gender roles, Islam, India, or 
       cultural anthropology.The film focuses on the dramatic 
       story of a woman, named Hurmuti, who refuses to live by 
       the moral and legal codes of the village's Islamic 
       patriarchy. Hurmuti is the eldest wife in an extended 
       family, but she has had a long-term -- and well-known -- 
       affair with another man in the village. The film examines 
       her conflicts with her extended family and with the all-
       male Islamic Village Council over her own conduct and over
       her insistence on the right to arrange the marriages of 
       her pre-pubescent daughters.As Hurmuti's fascinating story
       unfolds it is interwoven with scenes that illustrate the 
       process of growing up female in the village: the play of 
       children; the talk and the duties of adolescent girls; 
       marriage customs; dowry issues; relationships with mothers
       -in-law; rights to land ownership; and even spirit 
       possessions.Viewers will experience a wide range of 
       emotions, grapple with an array of stimulating questions, 
       and in the end be forced to consider how Hurmuti's life 
       options would have been different if she had been born 
       male.The film is based on ethnographic research carried 
       out in Rajasthan over the past two decades by the producer,
       Prof. Erin Moore, of the Dept. of Anthropology, Univ. of 
       Southern California. An in-depth Instructor's Guide sheds 
       additional light on the issues covered in the film and 
       provides background information on Indian and Muslim 
       social and legal customs.
