Daughters of Destiny is shot over seven years, and follows a group of girls from rural India who are denied education because of their caste. [2] [3] [1] Cast [ edit ] The series is well-produced and visually stunning, with beautiful shots of the school and its surroundings. The music is also hauntingly beautiful and adds to the emotional impact of the stories. The main point was always to tell the stories through the eyes and the voices of the girls themselves, and not have this be a story told by experts or the adults in the situation. I don’t think I had a chance to sway into all these other issues, I just followed where the girls’ stories led us and let them speak forthemselves. Shanthi Bhavan educates children from the age of four until university. (DelilahCravens/Netflix) Women & Girls: One of the takeaways from the film is that Shanti Bhavan’s model is still unproven. We see the girls get an education, we see them go off into the world and get to a better place themselves, but the model is more ambitious than that: To lift their families, or as Dr. George says in the film, 100 more people, out of poverty. Do you have the sense that this is going tohappen?

The actions of one man have undoubtedly transformed the lives of hundreds of seriously disadvantaged children and their families. If that isn’t worth celebrating in this glorious fashion, then I don’t know what is.If, for any reason, you do not copy the code prepared for you, you must paste this code snippet into the end of the article in your CMS:

Tahle překrásná obálka v sobě ukrývala úžasné čtení. Pokud hledáte něco, co Vás zaručeně pohladí po duši – už nemusíte! Tato série má u nás název „Drahé kameny“ Vám dá vše, co zrovna potřebujete. Je to dokonalé a milé čtení, které hladově čtete a nemáte nikdy dost. Já si na podzim a zimu vždy vybírám čtení, při kterém se zachumlám do deky a nechám se unášet příběhem. Dceřin úděl – je druhá kniha z této kolekce a za mě je snad ještě lepší než Zimní slib. Autorka píše nádherně, nemám ji co vytknout – miluji tyto její příběhy. Doteď jsem netušila, že má na svém kontě přes 70 knih a jestli budou všechny takto dobré, tak se máme na co těšit. A podle recenzí v zahraničí tuším, že ANO. Note at the top and/or bottom of the story that it originally appeared on Women and Girls.

Autorka o sobě prozradila, že než se stala spisovatelkou, tak pracovala v sociálních službách. Věřím, že byla určitě milá sociální pracovnice, ale jako spisovatelka je geniální a jsem ráda, že někdo její talent odhalil a začal její příběhy vydávat. We don’t see enough coverage of people who live in poverty being treated the same way as you would tell the story about any otherfamily.” The stars of Netflix documentary series Daughters of Destiny talk about subjects familiar to most teenage girls and young women: getting good grades at school, dealing with the attention of boys, deciding what they want to be when they growup. Though the stories of both boys and girls are important to tell, the girls have gender, caste and class that they need to overcome. It’s something that adds to psychology, emotions, education, health care, every issue. When you talk about women and girls in the world, these girls have all of these things to live with and to navigate their livesthrough. Women & Girls: One of the strongest threads in the series is the relationships between the girls and theirmothers. The school only takes one child from each family, feeding, housing and educating them from the age of four until they enter university. The school’s founder, Abraham George, says the children must use their education to lift their whole families, not just themselves, out ofpoverty.However, some viewers may find the documentary to be overly sentimental at times and may question the extent to which it is promoting a particular agenda or viewpoint. Some critics have also argued that the documentary simplifies the complexities of poverty and social inequality in India and may perpetuate stereotypes about the country.
