Phoolan is more than a documentary. It is a cultural intervention — a film that connects one woman’s extraordinary story to the systemic injustices that millions still face today. We are seeking bold partners: organizations, institutions, and individuals who believe that stories can challenge power, spark dialogue, and shift what people think is possible.
If that sounds like you, we’d like to talk.
Why This Film, Why Now
Phoolan Devi’s story — of surviving child marriage, gang rape, imprisonment, and political assassination — is not a relic of the past. The forces that shaped her life continue to shape the lives of women across India and the world. A partnership with Phoolan is an alignment with a story that sits at the intersection of gender equity, human rights, South Asian history, and the transformative power of independent cinema.
