In rural India, a crisis casts a rather large, unwelcome shadow over the picturesque wheat fields and soy farms. Over the past 20 years, more than 400,000 farmers have killed themselves, driven by mounting debts and dismal crop prices. Kinshuk Surjan's documentary, 'Marching in the Dark,' turns its lens on Maharashtra, the state with the highest farmer suicide rate, and finds another tragedy lurking in the aftermath: widows left to navigate a society still clinging to patriarchal values like a life raft.

Meet Sanjivani, a woman in her 30s whose husband killed himself eight years ago. She now juggles farming duties, odd jobs, and domestic labor for her extended family - cooking, cleaning, laundry. The camera rarely catches her idle, and honestly, we're exhausted just watching. But her resilience is matched only by the emotional lifeline thrown by a tight-knit network of fellow widows. Together, they attend counselling sessions where they can openly discuss their emotional, physical, and financial woes. Because nothing says 'stunning resilience' like turning shared grief into a support group that actually helps.
