Seema Biswas is the Bandit Queen

Born a lower-caste girl in rural India’s patriarchal society, “married” at 11, repeatedly raped and brutalized, Devi finds her freedom only as an avenging warrior, the eponymous “Bandit Queen.”.

With Devi becoming a kind of bloody Robin Hood; the film biographical film offers both a vivid portrait of a driven woman and a savage critique of the society that made her.

As supplier Twilight Time prints up only 3,000 copies of each title, keep an eye on distributor Screen Archives‘s site for the prebook date!
