In 2006, when my wife and I traveled to India to live and work, the one issue that kept grabbing our attention was northern India's deep cultural preference for sons over daughters. The desire for sons can be so great, that some families, after having a girl or two, will abort female fetuses until they bear a son. The practice is called female feticide or sex selection. We trekked from the small farming villages of Punjab to the narrow alleys of New Delhi to find out why.
Now PBS Frontline/World is webcasting our documentary film on the topic.
