Sita's Fire from Sita Sings the Blues - Music by Egemen Sanli


This is a derivative work of Nina Paley's inspiring animation "Sita Sings the Blues" Ms. Paley is a revolutionary artist who advocates copyleft licences and free culture movement. The free culture movement is a social movement that promotes the freedom to distribute and modify creative works in the form of free content by using the Internet and other forms of media. This is my take on a part of her amazing work. I was truly inspired by this story and I had to do something about it.
