Widow Champion

Description

Thrown off her land and out of her home by her in-laws, a Kenyan widow becomes a fighter for women’s rights, organizing other widows to demand what’s rightfully theirs. These women, caught between traditional beliefs and the modern world, work with village elders to create a community court to help solve longstanding conflicts.

As you use our Online Archives, please understand that the information presented from Festivals, Labs, and other activities is taken directly from official publications from each year. While this information is limited and doesn't necessarily represent the full list of participants (e.g. actors and crew), it is the list given to us by the main film/play/project contact at the time, based on the space restrictions of our publications. Each entry in the Online Archives is meant as a historical record of a particular film, play, or project at the time of its involvement with Sundance Institute. For this reason, we can only amend an entry if a name is misspelled, or if the entry does not correctly reflect the original publication.
