Wrath
Wrath is a short horror-drama which weaves the story of Badhbh, the goddess of war & destruction from Irish mythology, throughout a haunting narrative to interrogate the idea of the loss of bodily autonomy women experience in the journey from girlhood to womanhood and exacts a bloody and cathartic revenge on the patriarchy for creating this phenomenon.
