In Kolkata, where marriage is considered the ultimate feminine career fulfilment, four young Muslim women challenge stereotypes by learning to box with one of India’s first female boxing coaches. As they train, the women negotiate poverty, battle tradition and learn to confront fear.
Diving into the fears and triumphs of young Muslim female boxers in Kolkata, Burqa Boxers is a fascinating account of their fight for an identity beyond socially conditioned stereotype. It’s a sharp documentary, with pointed commentary on women’s rights of ownership when it comes to public spaces.
