INDIA is an exotic mixing pot of iconic wildlife, secret locations, epic landscapes and colourful beauty. This iconic and landmark series is a celebration of India’s most spectacular locations and incredible wildlife. From the "home of snow" in the epic Himalayan Mountains we travel to the mighty River Ganges, lifeblood of India as it carves out its dramatic path across the subcontinent. We also reveal Thar, the “Great Indian Desert”. Its territory includes much of Rajasthan (“the desert state”), where the bleakness of its environment is juxtaposed with the striking colours of traditional Rajasthani dress and amazing wildlife spectacles Also featured is India's lost world of the north east, home to head hunting tribes, tiger infested forests, mountains not yet climbed, rivers waiting to be fished. And finally to the Western Ghats. This biodiversity hotspot is home to epic waterfalls, hill tribes, hidden caves and stunning wildlife.. Part 1: Thar Desert Sacred Sands Covering 200,000 square kilometres, India’s Thar Desert is one of the harshest places on the planet. Baking heat, desiccating winds and near permanent drought has earned this unforgiving land another name – “the region of death.” As we explore India’s great desert we unveil its hidden secrets, and ultimately shed light as to how the Thar has become the most crowded desert in the world. Part 2: Ganges River of Life The Ganges is the longest river in India. It flows from the glaciers of the world’s highest mountains, the Himalayas, to the largest bay in the world, the Bay of Bengal. Human pollution threatens to overwhelm the river, but somehow wild animals survive. Hindus believe that Ganges water has the power to purify, and it seems there is some scientific evidence to support this conviction: microscopic organisms actually eat bacteria that could cause disease, and uniquely high level levels of oxygen break down organic waste faster than any in other river. This self-cleaning property of Ganges water helps support some of the last remaining true wilderness in the world – the Sundarbans swamp. Here, India’s largest population of wild tigers have never learned to fear man, making them very dangerous neighbours. Part 3: Himalayas Surviving the Summits Outside Asia, no peak reaches above 7000 metres, but along the Himalayan range, over 100 mountains exceed this height by at least 200 metres, making it the tallest mountain range on the planet.As Earth meets the sky along this hostile terrain, powerful winds, sub-zero temperatures, and a lack of oxygen oppose virtually all forms of life, but remarkably, this immense geological feature somehow supports one of the largest and most diverse collections of creatures on the planet – including man. While the Himalayas rugged highlands offer little direct refuge to humans, in the shadow below, over a billion people in India rely on the mountains for survival. Part 4: Western Ghats Monsoon Mountains Stretching for a thousand miles along India’s west coast, the Western Ghats are a spine of mountains that lay claim to being one of the most bio-diverse places in the world. Mountains rear their heads into the path of monsoon clouds, intercepting rains and making the western slopes some of the wettest places in India. Tropical rainforests thrives, and explode with life. The Western Ghats hold the key to life across southern India. Rainwater harvested by the mountains washes down to the coast, feeding Kerala’s backwaters; huge rivers flow east across India’s dry interior, a lifeline to animals and people. Part 5: Indias Lost World Imagine a lost world – head hunting tribes, tiger-infested forests, unclimbed mountains, pristine rivers. Known as the Seven Sisters of India, there are seven relatively unexplored and isolated Indian states. What mysteries lie within this secretive land and why have they remained untouched for so long? North-east India is an anthropological paradise; there is no other place on Earth with so many different ethnic groups. The forest slopes are filled with mysterious tribes whose lives are dictated by the ebb and flow of the rain and the seasonal fruits of the forest. In these largely unexplored and isolated areas people scarcely known to the Western world continue a way of life steeped in ancient rituals.
客观讲导演的水平有些薄弱，但是《正发生》强在不加修饰的真实引发情绪共鸣。
看完电影的瞬间就觉得，能够活在这个不怎么样的时代也有它的好处了，起码在生育面前还有自主的权力。
女人堕胎自由约等于男人不带套的自由
英国，瑞士，爱尔兰，韩国，法国。全世界就这五个国家有这狗规定。
“得了只攻击女人的病，然后变成家庭主妇的病”
首尾呼应的镜头。女孩儿之间对身体的好奇，人生的一小处规划，再平常不过的日常，背后付出的却是如此之大的代价。年轻女性的身体在此处彻底去魅，只有撕裂和疼痛。
叙事做得很简约，没有过多的编排和匠气，也可以说是很平常的流畅。好看还是在逼仄的构图，浅淡的拟胶片色彩，深沉气氛里激起对害家庭主妇病的反思，另外，这一切很痛
4.5.电影传递了超越肉身的“身体疼痛”，这样的“疼痛”是我们发现几十年后的今天女性依然不能对自己的身体有自主权，是我们发现这样的剥削与压迫依然是the happening reality，是那些抗争与互助下女性无法回避的关于牺牲与选择的collective memory.将关于子宫与孕育的谎言在父权制的面前打破，告诉你们真正血淋淋的关于身体政治的一切。那么，那些依然希望囚禁并掌握子宫的男人，你们准备好面对关于生存与现实的拷问了么？
看之前做了非常足的心理建设，怕自己受不了，疼得昏过去。但导演明显是仁慈的，女性的痛苦已经被极为克制地呈现了，或许只呈现了tip of the iceberg。
身体政治是女主角最后的防线和底限。当片头她的课堂回答像个男性一样的口吻时，全片最狠的人物形象已经在不经意间给立了起来。2021年度最佳没有之一，其次才是世界上最糟糕的人。
为了呼吁女性赋权，我选择给出5星，如果光评价影片质量只能给4星。
看到安娜自己动手引胎，第一次堕胎，第二次手术的场面，脊背发凉，女人在身体的选择上为何要听从那些没有长子宫的人！
又幸运的是没有成为那五千之一
女人的原罪是长了子宫。她承受了这么大的痛苦后，告诉你，她已经是最幸运的那一部分人了。
这是一部恐怖片！一种只会缠上女人的病，一种把女人变成家庭主妇的病。
我的身体，我怎样才能保护。这样的道理，不应该只有我懂。
来自于1975年前法国禁止堕胎的时代背景。作家的自传改编，1960年发生的事。怀孕是女性社会生活的终结。女主的演技很棒以及付出太多了，很美。而题材本身，女性有生育权就自然有堕胎权。希望不要再文明倒退。堕胎权，让女性能自主安排生活计划，也让女性拥有开始新生活的可能，更避免了避孕失败后成为了生育机器。还是比较能感同身受，很有沉浸感的一部影片！推荐。
伴随《四月三周两天》全片的是看不到尽头的压抑窒息，堕胎后问题也未能真正解决；而《正发生》主要把力道汇聚在三场堕胎戏里，由主角独自艰难的完成，给予观众短时间内最强的情绪冲击。前者无望，后者无助。
#Sundance2022 “Who cares what you feel like?”
她知道自己有一天会有孩子，但也确定不能以自己的人生为代价，还是女性能否为自己的身体自己的子宫做主的问题。有些纪实画面让人观看都感觉到疼。
