Re: REQUEST : sati
I saw a movie titled "Father, Son, and the Holy War" last year which had some
bits on Sati. It should the actual ritual being performed somewhere in
Rajasthan. I do not know who the director was, but it was a documentary on
India presented at Cannes Film Festival 1995. Maybe someone can help me on
this.
