Synopsis:
This is the story of Phoolan Devi, the "Bandit Queen" who suffered poverty, abuse and kidnap before fighting to claim retribution for herself and all low-caste women in India. She has gained massive popular support for her actions and has become a symbol of hope for the downtrodden. In a three-year campaign which rocked the Indian government, she crusaded through the badlands of Uttar Pradesh, delivering justice to rape victims and stealing from the rich of one village to give to the poor of the next, winning massive popular support. Finally she negotiated surrender on her own terms. Imprisoned without trial for 11 years, Phoolan Devi remained a beacon of hope and courage for the downtrodden. Here, she tells the story of her life through her eyes and in her own voice.
