I Will Prevail – 8 Stories of Assertion, 2017

This film made for HAQ: Centre for Child Rights, by Shibani Chaudhury, is an exploration of the lives of women and adolescent girls in Rajasthan and Bengal in India who have resisted, or risen beyond, child marriage. Threaded through conversations with 8 'Warriors' aged between 15-67 years, the film catches the courage and resilience in their journeys of resistance. The stories demonstrate how crucial advocacy and awareness is for people with individual courage to access agency, justice and delivery of rights; equally it reflects how important it is to shift thought and break regressive social practices.
