Synopsis
Sanwari is a loving wife whose husband respects and admires her. When she's gang-raped by upper-caste men in her village, Sanwari is expected to hang her head in shame. Instead, Sanwari "knocks on the doors of justice" with the support of her husband and a woman lawyer. Caught in the middle of a storm created by the international media, Sanwari is soon made a pawn in the political chess game--as she is put on a pedestal by one side and derided by the other.
