Bawandar
A rural low-caste woman , Banwari, working for the Rajasthan Government's Saathin (women's development program) speaks out against the prevalent custom of child marriages for which she is gang-raped by the village's upper-caste men. Expecting her to wither in shame, they and other villagers are astounded when she seeks justice. Her real rape begins when she is made to run from pillar to post in a judicial system corrupted by sexism, chauvinism, feudalism and political opportunism. The international media make her a pawn in the political chess game between the ruling party's Central Government and the Opposition Party's State Government. One places her on a pedestal while the other openly maligns her. From a rape victim, she becomes a rape activist...
