‘GEETA’ , a vibrant, raw film about a mother’s determined effort to change her daughter’s destiny after a brutal acid attack, will be holding its VIP Melbourne screening at the Astor Cinema on 30 March.

Geeta Mahor was asleep with her three young daughters when her husband, Inderjeet, crept into their room and maliciously threw acid on them. Geeta was seriously injured, three-year-old Neetu ended up severely scarred and almost completely blind, and baby Krishna tragically passed away. The reason Inderjeet gave for the attack was that he did not want girls in his family.

Fast-forward 28 years and Geeta and her daughter Neetu live their lives in the urban slums of Agra with gusto, hope and an uncompromising determination to create lasting societal change.

For updates and announcements about Geeta, keep in touch via Facebook, Twitter, Instagram or the GeetaFilm website.

While the resulting film doesn’t shy away from the horrors the women have endured – Inderjeet even fronts up to the camera to be interviewed – its focus is squarely on Geeta’s powerful love for her daughter, Neetu’s journey to a potentially life-changing eye surgery and their shared determination for social transformation.

Ultimately Geeta is about overcoming violence, the power of love, building dreams and the everyday heroism that creates grassroots change.    

The film is directed by Emma Macey-Storch, and produced by Adam Farrington Williams, Emma Macey-Storch, Nayana Bhandari, Dipanjali Rao and Alexandra Curtis.
