Scope and content
Directed by Audrey Mehler, the forty-five-minute documentary To Love, Honour and Obey (2001) explores the story behind the honour killing of Jaswinder Kaur Sidhu, a young Sikh woman from Maple Ridge, British Columbia. Sidhu was murdered at the request of her family for secretly marrying Sukhwinder Singh Sidhu (nicknamed Mitthu) in India. In this documentary, the filmmakers travel to India to trace the cultural roots that dictate what's acceptable and what isn't in many young Canadians' lives and interview Mitthu and authorities connected to the case. The film examines the tradition of arranged marriages in India, the role of women in Indian culture, and how traditions are brought to Western countries such as Canadian and adapted. On a broader scale, it deals with the changing roles of women within all societies. Helen Shaver narrates the film; an alternate title used for the film is Princess.
Series consists of a digital master tape, a set of video and audio elements and textual material relating to the development of the production.
