On the June 10th edition of Your Call, we’ll have a conversation with Bay Area-based filmmaker Nyna Pais Caputi about gender discrimination in India. India is ranked the fourth most dangerous place in the world for women. Premiering during the SF Documentary Festival, Petals in the Dust: The Endangered Indian Girls highlights how girls and women are devalued in Indian society, leading to a rise in gender violence. How are women organizing to stop it? It’s Your Call with Hana Baba, and you.
