User Reviews

The fascinating story of a young woman in India, her trials, her tribulations and her triumphs.

This terrific long term documentary covers a few years in the life of a young woman in India. She's had a very rough go for her first 15 years but she's smart and determined. She can do anything she sets her mind to and she sets her sights high indeed. Ultimately we'll find out everything there is to know about her. It is a very well spent one hour and the documentarian is to be applauded for this excellent work.
