Gulabi Gang

Enter the badlands of Bundelkhand in central India and you have entered a place of desolation, dust, and despair. The film follows the Gulabi Gang, an unusual group of rural women led by the energetic and charismatic Sampat Pal. They travel long distances to fight for the rights of women and Dalits. They encounter resistance, apathy, corruption, even ridicule. Sometimes whole villages connive against them to protect the perpetrators of violence. The film pulls us into the center of these blazing conflicts and uncovers a complex story, disturbing yet heartening.
