A Labour of Love - The Housewife by Rajendra Gour
Duration: 18 mins
Year: 1974
Synopsis: This short film examines the role of the Asian woman within the realm
of the home and the family, in particular the role of the housewife. It features
the boundless work that a housewife has to accomplish in a day in order to run a
smooth household, and to care for her husband and children. The film is an early
feminist take at the misconception of the non-economic value of the stay-at-home
mother and wife, whose contribution to society is often underrated.
