Burqa Boxers plot

In Kolkata, where marriage is considered the ultimate female career fulfillment, four young Muslim women challenge stereotypes by learning how to box with one of India's first female boxing coaches. They fight against poverty and traditions and learn to face their fear. This documentary follows these women and forms a commentary on women's ownership of public space.
