WOM wins the Best Documentary Award, the “German Star of India” at the Indian Film Festival of Stuttgart
Here is the jury citation:
“The film ‘Watch Over Me’ is a deeply impressive documentary that gives the viewer lessons in patience and empathy – values that are necessary in both life and filmmaking. Shot in black and white, the starkness never lets the film lose its purpose: to uphold the dignity of the dying and their families. It is a well-crafted, intimate, and respectful portrayal of the terminally ill and the three dedicated and compassionate women caregivers tirelessly attending to them. Its theme and treatment are also especially significant given the current times.”
