A Bollywood Musical ‘Gangubai Kathiawadi’
A brave Indian woman rises from an oppressive background to become an inspired leader for women and men alike around the globe.
The silent walls
Every city has its secrets, but it is probably inside houses, behind their silent walls, where they are most intense and human. The Alabado House was built in 1671 as part of Quito’s colonial Old City, surviving centuries of earthquakes, poverty and decay. Over the past five years, dozens of manual laborers have been working to restore it. But its miraculous beauty conceals a long and tragic history. For it was the oppressed indigenous masses who built the Old City, the largest in Latin America.
