Oh, I adore Deepa Mehta's work. Actually, we're seen Earth and Fire, and the Water DVD is sitting in our living room right now waiting to be watched.
It is astonishing the effort and agony she has gone through to get these three films made - the effects of society, religion, and social/political/class/caste/religious conflict on women in India are so central to all three of them. If there were any justice in the world, she would be acknowledged worldwide as an important director.

I cannot gush enough about Metha's work.
