- Summary:
- Among the arid lands of Rajasthan, India surrounded by marble mines, there is an oasis: a small town called Piplantri, where women are no longer afraid of giving birth to a girl. Since 2005, families that previously got rid of their daughters for not being able to pay the dowry, today celebrate by planting 111 trees every time a girl is born. This program has turned Piplantri into an oasis. There is improved literacy, work opportunities and now the women organize. Sisters of the Trees reveals the lives of the women and the positive changes that the community is making.
