ANSWER

Childhood Trauma

The child’s trauma in the film Under the heel of Britain and the Thumb of Hindu Law in ‘Water’ differs from that of Pan’s Labrynth 2006 and Osama 2003 in line with exposure and extremity. In the first film, the child develops trauma due to witnessing women being condemned into ashrams and Gange banks. These women are expected to spend the rest of their lives in these segments because of their status. The Hindu law often sidelines windows. The experience that these women encounter is a cause of worry among the children. It denies them the love, protection, and safety that mothers offer to their children. In the second film, the child encounters war and conflicts between women and the Taliban group one-on-one. The child finds himself entangled in a running battle where Taliban members run after women shooting and arresting them. The panic, agony, and worry that characterize these battles are elements developed by the child after witnessing the events first-hand.

The child’s trauma evidenced a need to address social issues occurring in the two films. In the first film, the child –portrays impudence and high spirits that question key elements such as fidelity to religion and turning windows into outcasts. The child is disturbed by these occurrences and is motivated to speak out to improve women’s status in the community. The same case applies in the second film, where the child tells the women to run not to be shot. The child portrays the desire to address the experience of women, children, and fellow minority populations in the social setting. The current state of affairs in the two communities is a crucial issue of concern for the child whose central focus is on improving the conditions.
