Nepal, July 6 -- I recently watched Karan Kandhari's new movie, "Sister Midnight," at the Angelika Film Center in Northern Virginia.

"Sister Midnight" is a story of a woman's repression. It's a story of a woman who is so angry that she doesn't even identify as a human by the end. Uma's story is a story of a woman's transformation from human to something other than human. Uma represents all the repressed women of South Asia. All the wome...
