Place reservation for Nine paths : a year in the life of an Indian villageOn an island at the eastern edge of India, rural, remote and dense with jungle, is a Muslim village. In an ever-shifting landscape of mangroves and rivers, the women here dwell among contradictions - with the restrictions and possibilities of their religion, the desire for opportunity despite the lack of education, and the unreliability of a changing climate in a much loved home. Secrets are impossible to keep and one's neighbours are often too close for comfort. 'Nine Paths' follows the lives of nine of these women, and their families, over the course of a year - from one monsoon season to another.
