Pink Saris (NR)

synopsis

Sampat Pal, an illiterate, low-caste woman, was married off at the age of 12 and was constantly bullied by her in-laws. She rebelled against the stringent village rules and ended up on the streets with five young children. She then set up Gulabi Gang, where hundreds of women, all dressed in bright fuchsia saris, would gather to make a corrupt policeman enforce the law or to challenge a violent husband. At the heart of ‘Pink Saris' are the four young women who come to Sampat as their last hope and we watch their stories unfold.
