the world before her (2012)
"The World Before Her is a Canadian documentary film, released in 2012. Written and directed by Nisha Pahuja, the film explores the complex and conflicting environment for young girls in India by profiling two young women participating in two very different types of training camp — Ruhi Singh , who aspires to become Miss India, and Prachi Trivedi, a Hindu nationalist with the Durga Vahini."

The glitz and glamour of TV and city/upper class sobriety comes into sharp contrast with the rural Hindu nationalist training camp, and the struggles that both parties face in a very diverse and increasingly polarized culture.
Is modernity doing us any good? Is tradition better? What culture is best? While we may challenge the assumptions and actions of the girls, we must also challenge ourselves to consider the lenses we wear that is colouring our views on them.
