Abstract

We Bengalis like rice and fish the most as a meal. We can’t live without fish and rice. It is only after eating them that we feel satisfied’. Fish and rice are a vital part of the daily diet of Bengali communities. The documentary ‘The Unseen Face, Unheard Voice: Women and Aquaculture’ shows the impacts of aquacultural practices on the well-being of women in rural communities in West Bengal, India. The film highlights women’s reliance on fresh water in their backyard ponds for their household uses (such as washing, cleaning, and watering vegetables), on the small fish in these ponds as a source of nutrition, and on locally grown rice and vegetables in their diet. However, the growing practice of fish culture has limited women’s access to these resources. Small sized fish is less available as the farming of larger fish, which is often cooked and served to men first in the family, is becoming the norm.
