Synopsis

Bali is world famous as a tourist para-dise but for some Balinese women the reality is more troubling. Approximately 10% of Balinese families are polyga-mous, and men in these unions often take multiple brides without their spouse’s consent. Filmed over the course of seven years, Bitter Honey offers the first in-depth exploration of these family's lives. Women from three polyga-mous families tell their stories of coercion, be-trayal, and domestic violence and share their courageous struggle for empowerment and equal rights.
