Samia Zaman, in her welcoming speech, said "Almost a year has passed since we started 'Through Her Eyes' Film Screening series, which has given us the opportunity to come together regularly to watch and discuss films made by women. A bold film about social injustice against women, 'Nodijon' again reminded me about why we thought it was important to have this space."

The film "Nodijan", deals with the social and marital consequences of a man divorcing his wife by using the verbal 'talaq'; first suspecting her of adultery and then realizing his mistake and wanting her back. Sheikh Zahirul Hoque wrote the story of the film, whereas the screenplay writer and cinematographer is the director herself. Emon Shaha is the music director of the film.
