THE WORLD BEFORE HER (2012) by NISHA PAHUJA which won numerous festival awards including Best Canadian Feature at HOT DOCS, Best Doc at TRIBECA, also at SAN DIEGO ASIAN FILM FESTIVAL, WARSAW, and in ZURICH.

TICKETS are $12 in advance/ or $15 cash at door. "With unprecedented access, great compassion, and a keen eye for the universal, this year's winner takes a hard and clear-eyed look at the trials of growing up female in today's fast-changing world. Following young women who have taken diametrically opposed decisions on how to tackle the influence of global forces in their communities, the filmmaker takes us on a journey to examine how the pressures of faith, fashion, and family are bringing up a generation of women who are desperately searching for meaning amidst a reality of few real choices."
