Madison Movie Chat: "A Suitable Girl"

Join us on Monday evenings for a virtual movie discussion! Before each session, we'll announce a new film choice from Kanopy, a free streaming service accessible with your library card; you can then watch the movie at your leisure and participate in a patron-led discussion via Zoom. We look forward to seeing you there!

A SUITABLE GIRL follows three young Indian women struggling to maintain their identities and follow their dreams amid intense pressure to get married. Documenting the arranged marriage and matchmaking process in vérité for over four years, the film examines the women's complex relationship with marriage, family, and society.

Winner of the Albert Maysles New Documentary Director Award and nominated for Best Documentary Feature at the Tribeca Film Festival.

"Stirring, and heartbreaking in its examination of ingrained sociocultural sexism, and the toll it takes on entire families." — Nick Schager, Variety
