Sita Sings the Blues

This one might not be for everyone (but then, when were they ever?)...but if you like flash animation, Hindu mythology, jazz singer Annette Hanshaw, or are just looking for a free feature-length film to watch, I'd advise you to give it a go.  Personally, I found the semi-autobiographical story both amusing and touching (and finally, thought-provoking), loved the narrators, and got drawn into a Wikipedia rabbit-hole on Sita and Shiva and Rama and a host of other figures I hadn't though about or properly investigated in ages and ages.  If you're looking for a serious telling of the Ramayana, perhaps you ought to look elsewhere, but for a lovely (cross-cultural) time, watch Sita Sings the Blues.
