Afghanistan is a nasty, dangerous place. When a journalist covering that war, I'm hounded by the thought, "I could at any second be torn to shreds."

Brunetti in person
In order to pay for t...he wedding of Vishnu to the Goddess Padmavathi, the gods’ treasurer granted a long-term loan to be paid off by future generations. Still today, Hindu believers offer money and jewels to service the centuries-old debt. The very poor, we are told, sacrifice their only possession—their hair. At an impartial remove, Brunetti and Leopardi follow the course of this hair as it is sheared in an ancient, sacred ritual, sold at auction to the highest bidder, and ends up strutting down the red carpets on top of the world’s most famous heads. Featuring Sangieta, the editor of Hello! magazine in Mumbai; Mayoor, a hair wholesaler in Bangalore; Thomas, an Italian who repackages the hair into extensions; and Hemlata and Gita, a mother and daughter who trek to Simhachalan Temple to make their offering, the documentary observes these ordinary people as they negotiate life’s pressures and problems. One part of India is sacrificing their “crowning glory” so another part can look good. By thoughtfully interweaving these various narratives, the filmmakers leave us wondering, in the end, which part is really better off.

Margaret Mead Film & Video Festival
A young woman in love is pregnant and must decide if she will have the baby. An octogenarian couple shares their love story through photos and home movies dating back to the early 1960s. A community comes together to support a young boy whose family decides to give him an experimental operation. A married woman unabash...edly expresses her desire to be with another man. These stories make up the films in the Love Against the Odds series at this year’s Mead. What links these six films besides the theme of love? The main characters are blind, deaf, or autistic; another suffers from multiple sclerosis and another is paraplegic. Blind Loves acquaints us with three blind couples in love and one blind teenager who wants to be. Edie and Thea: A Very Long Engagement portrays the long-term relationship between two lesbians, one of whom suffers from MS. How I Am draws out the adolescent Patrick, whose autism isolates him. In War + Love in Kabul, a young man wounded in the war on Afghanistan is kept from his childhood sweetheart. Whatever their disability, it in no way completely defines them. They are articulate and insightful and generously open up a window onto their lives.
