About this deal

Tahle překrásná obálka v sobě ukrývala úžasné čtení. Pokud hledáte něco, co Vás zaručeně pohladí po duši – už nemusíte! Tato série má u nás název „Drahé kameny“ Vám dá vše, co zrovna potřebujete. Je to dokonalé a milé čtení, které hladově čtete a nemáte nikdy dost. Já si na podzim a zimu vždy vybírám čtení, při kterém se zachumlám do deky a nechám se unášet příběhem. Dceřin úděl – je druhá kniha z této kolekce a za mě je snad ještě lepší než Zimní slib. Autorka píše nádherně, nemám ji co vytknout – miluji tyto její příběhy. Doteď jsem netušila, že má na svém kontě přes 70 knih a jestli budou všechny takto dobré, tak se máme na co těšit. A podle recenzí v zahraničí tuším, že ANO. Autorka o sobě prozradila, že než se stala spisovatelkou, tak pracovala v sociálních službách. Věřím, že byla určitě milá sociální pracovnice, ale jako spisovatelka je geniální a jsem ráda, že někdo její talent odhalil a začal její příběhy vydávat.

From what I’ve seen at the school, they’re still learning how to support the kids as they keep growing. We will have to see what happens, but at the moment the kids who have graduated are going on to great colleges, they’re going on to jobs that they’re happy with, and they’re also going to different parts of the world. While that’s true, they still have a lot of emotional, psychological and developmental hurdles toovercome. Manjula, who was struggling with the pressure of living up to her family's expectations, has completed her education and is now working as a software engineer in Bangalore. Daughters of Destiny follows five students – Manjula, Karthika, Preetha, Shilpa, Manjula and Thenmozhi – as they move through a school system designed to break the cycle of poverty. Shanti Bhavan, in the southern state of Tamil Nadu, takes in 24 children each year from surrounding communities of Dalits, the lowest caste inIndia.

The school’s founder, Abraham George, says the children must use their education to lift their whole families, not just themselves, out ofpoverty.

We prefer “Author Name, Institution” Emerald Winter has lived a privileged life with her parents and her younger sister Abigail in the stately Astley House. But all that suddenly changes when her father disappears, leaving the family in enormous debt. Women & Girls: This is a film about the school at Shanti Bhavan, but it touches on so much more: honor, shame, domestic violence. How did you cover these issues without getting outside the main story, which is fundamentally one ofeducation?

Do not republish a photo without our written permission. Some sources don't allow their images to be republished without permission. The uneducated lower-caste women wait for suitors while mothers-to-be pray for boys, the passivity of their lives in stark contrast to the Shanti Bhavan girls. They are living in a hot, dusty Jane Austen novel unless fate chooses to throw them a lifeline.

Preetha, who was initially shy and introverted, has become more confident and outgoing. She has completed her education and is now working as a teacher in a private school in India. They are forced to throw themselves at the mercy of Emerald's uncle who begrudgingly allows them on his farm. The music of Indian composer AR Rahman adds a suitably epic quality to the already breathtaking camera work. But Roth doesn’t get too distracted by shots of otherworldly quarries when her lens has the bright, brilliant eyes of her subjects to focus on. Since the release of Daughters of Destiny in 2017, there have been some updates on where the girls featured in the documentary are now. Shanthi Bhavan educates children from the age of four until university. (DelilahCravens/Netflix) Women & Girls: One of the takeaways from the film is that Shanti Bhavan’s model is still unproven. We see the girls get an education, we see them go off into the world and get to a better place themselves, but the model is more ambitious than that: To lift their families, or as Dr. George says in the film, 100 more people, out of poverty. Do you have the sense that this is going tohappen?

However, some viewers may find the documentary to be overly sentimental at times and may question the extent to which it is promoting a particular agenda or viewpoint. Some critics have also argued that the documentary simplifies the complexities of poverty and social inequality in India and may perpetuate stereotypes about the country. Daughters of Destiny is a 2017 English-language original Netflix documentary series created by Oscar-winning filmmaker Vanessa Roth. It follows a group of disadvantaged children in rural India enrolled in the Shanti Bhavan residential school located in Tamil Nadu, India. [1] Premise [ edit ] Karthika hopes to become a human rights lawyer so she can help the people in her village to reclaim rights to their land.

Thenmozhi, seven, is a talkative sprite with the school’s uniform pixie-crop, who wants to have “a job called … science”. Manjula, 14, is approaching exams, but when, later in the series, you see her beginnings, it becomes clear that her whole family are waiting for her to get a good job and save them from spiralling debt. Roth: We actually filmed the whole time with boys and girls, I had not intended to make it about the girls. I didn’t want to focus on gender, I wanted to focus on the development of a person and the idea of family, the relationships and individual growth. But as we kept filming, and as we started editing, I realized that maybe subconsciously or naturally, something happened where we had stronger footage and more footage of the young girls andwomen. If, for any reason, you do not copy the code prepared for you, you must paste this code snippet into the end of the article in your CMS: News Deeply spoke to Director Vanessa Roth about filming Daughters of Destiny, and the challenges its stars continue toface. Women & Girls: How did you hear about the school, and what prompted you to film there over a period of sevenyears?Roth: There’s part of it that’s too early to tell. When we were trying to figure out the title of the series, one of the draft titles I loved was “Carry 100 More.” On one hand, I find it a grandiose vision, but the kids take it very seriously. They are told that and they work towardsthat. We often republish pieces from our partners.
