The Denver Film Festival has announced its first wave of programming, including films like “Sworn Virgin” and “India’s Daughter.”
“Sworn Virgin,” which picked up the Nora Ephron Prize at the Tribeca Film Festival earlier this year, is about an Albanian woman who becomes a chaste man to avoid marriage and later reclaims her female identity.
The documentary “India’s Daughter” tells the story of Jyoti Singh, a medical student who was raped and murdered on her way home from seeing “The Life of Pi.”
