In the midst of India’s farmer suicide crisis, a young widow joins a women’s support group and embarks upon a transformative journey of discovery.

Sanjivani’s husband was one of the thousands of farmers in India’s agricultural sector who die by suicide each year, overwhelmed by the pressure of rising costs, unyielding crop failures and volatile market prices.

As she grapples with this devastating loss, Sanjivani cautiously joins a local support group for widows. She discovers strength and joy in this unexpected community, as they share their grief and common experiences. Can Sanjivani’s newly-found voice shift adversity into opportunity? And are solidarity and friendships enough to fuel a mental health revolution?
