It’s a Girl!

The documentary is about the destruction of girl children. The countries it deals with are mainly India and China. The reason comes down to one thing. The child born is a girl. The film calls this gendercide. The United Nations estimate it cites is that two hundred million girls are missing. The account moves through individual stories. There are girls abandoned and trafficked. There are women who face violence over dowry. There are mothers resisting to keep their daughters. There are also mothers who lost a daughter because a son was wanted. Experts and activists on the ground set these in context. The film takes a side openly and should be watched as a work of advocacy. The sixty four minute documentary carries the signature of Evan Grae Davis, an American production finished in 2012.
