Sita Sings the Blues

So I found this animation a while ago and it is so great. It is by a woman named Nina Paley who after being left by her husband created this film based on the Ramayana, an Hindu Myth about the god Rama and his love and their demise. She used songs from 1920's American Blues singer Annette Hanshaw to sing about the tale... the animation is amazing and is very unique blend of East and West...



Watch the whole film for free at http://www.sitasingstheblues.com/watch.html

Nina Paley has made the film part of free creative commons so that anyone can watch and share it!

Enjoy!!!
