Abstract
In a world filled with complex social structures and power dynamics, the discrimination faced by individuals is rarely limited to a single aspect of their identity. Deepa Mehta’s film “Fire” delves into the intricacies of intersectionality, exploring how gender intersects with different institutions, ultimately leaving us with the message that there is no escape from discrimination and oppression.[1] As we analyze the film, it becomes evident that family, as a microcosm of society, reflects the larger structures of power and control. In this review, we will dissect the intersectionality of religion, sexuality, class, and law. We will also explore the broader implication that, even as they attempt to escape their familial constraints, they are still under the ambit of the overarching family i.e., society, where prejudice and inequality persist, proving that there is no escape
