Water

laura and i saw a sad, beautiful film the other night, and for anyone interested, Water, in my opinion, is among a handful of must-see movies from the last couple decades. it enraged, produced tears and brought a smile -- even laughter -- almost simultaneously.

that said, it also invited the audience member to entertain questions on many fronts, one of which i hope to unpack here.

without giving too much away, Water portrays a relationship between economics and religion and, ultimately, sexism. this made me think about starting with what i know: the christian religion. though the movie specifically referred to the gita, i think the bible holds a similar sway of authority among many christians. okay, so here, at last, is my question. is the bible a collection of lopsided documents of, by and for men?

let the cussion begin!
