You are invited to join our international Q&A with Sagarika Chakraborty the mother whose case is told in the inspirational film Mrs Chatterjee vs Norway, plus film director Ashima Chibber and Suranya Aiyar, lawyer and campaigner who was involved.
Wednesday 26 July – in person at the Crossroads Women’s Centres:
in the UK: 4pm, 25 Wolsey Mews, London NW5 2DX
in the US: 11am, 5011 Wayne Ave, Philadelphia 19144
or join online here.
The film (available on Netflix) is based on a book by Sagarika Chakraborty, a devastating account of how her two children were taken from her and her husband by social services in Norway and put into foster care, and her three-year struggle to get them back. Suranya Aiyar describes this abuse of power by the state as “a sin against motherhood”.
It’s a great victory for the movement of mothers everywhere that this film is being shown widely in cinemas across the world and on Netflix. It’s not often that we see our lives and struggles reflected on the big screen in this way!
