Something Like a War offers a raw and unflinching look at India's family planning efforts, but it’s the women’s voices that really resonate here. The documentary weaves personal stories with the stark realities of the program, creating a complex atmosphere filled with tension and resilience. The pacing is deliberate, allowing the viewer to absorb the heartbreaking yet defiant narratives. It dives deep into themes of autonomy, societal pressure, and the often brutal implementation of policies. There's this haunting quality to the women’s experiences that lingers long after the credits roll. I find it distinctive not just in its subject matter but in its refusal to sanitize the truth, making it a thought-provoking watch for any serious collector.
