| Summary |
In October 1999 filmmaker Anita Chang befriended three 13-year-old girls - Monika Rasali, Sushma Sada and Vinita Shrestha - while living in Kathmandu, Nepal. Honestly presenting themselves in an audio recording, these girls share with the filmmaker their ideas on marriage, friendship and spirituality. Their recordings provide a complex and poignant framework for three Nepali women living in the U.S. to reflect on their own struggle, exile and quest for liberation. Through portraiture and verite documentary, the film offers rare insight into the lives of girls and women from a society steeped in patriarchy, tradition and caste. She Wants to talk to you speaks closely to young girls and women, as well as provokes universal introspection about the nature of happiness and oppression, and human relations and intimacy |
