Quote:
"Many of my films centre around women characters who are involved in [...] struggles. This was not a plan, but when I look back—there it is. While exploring women's lives, the characters usually come up against 'patriarchy'. It's just there, so often in the way, diminishing women's lives and potential everywhere in the world."
-- Deepa Mehta
