Sewickley Series Film: "Lakshmi and Me"
For the second year in a row, the Academy partners with Silk Screen to present three films throughout the month of January.
In this intimate examination of the relationship between Indian filmmaker Nishtha Jain and her young maid, Lakshmi, Jain holds up a mirror to her own culture and the pervasive caste system that can still determine an individual’s fate in life. Where servants are habitually treated as social inferiors, this film looks at what can happen when an employer shows
empathy and a silent workers finds her voice.
