Overview

Born a lower-caste girl in rural India's patriarchal society, "married" at 11, repeatedly raped and brutalized, Phoolan Devi finds freedom only as an avenging warrior, the eponymous Bandit Queen. Devi becomes a kind a bloody Robin Hood; this extraordinary biographical film offers both a vivid portrait of a driven woman and a savage critique of the society that made her.

How It Feels

Read from this film's synopsis, keywords and credits, and used to work out what it sits beside.

A raw, unflinching portrait of a woman's violent transformation from systematic abuse into fierce retribution. This is a brutally honest film that doesn't look away from either the horrors that forge her or the blood she spills in response.
