Marching in the Dark is a poignant film set against the backdrop of farmer suicides in India. The story revolves around Sanjeevani, a young widow who discovers strength, joy and companionship among a group of resilient women who have experienced the same loss of a partner. Through peer-to-peer sessions with a local psychologist, Sanjeevani finds the courage to confront her grief, challenge social taboos, and strive for financial independence and a brighter future for her children. As she navigates deeply patriarchal Indian society, the film explores themes of resilience, healing and the power of community. Despite facing new tragedies within her community, Sanjeevani’s determination does not waver as she finds solace in helping other women farmers and addressing her own grief. Marching in the Dark offers a compelling portrayal of personal growth, empowerment and the strength found in collective support.
