Pink Saris

Directed by Kim Longinotto

2010 – 100'

Synopsis

Pink saris are worn by the Gulabi Gang, a group of women vigilantes in Northern India. From the untouchable caste, they resist being condescended to as the lowest social class. They have a champion in the form of the formidable Sampat Pal, who takes up their cases of social injustice and domestic abuse – often perpetrated by their husbands’ extended families, with whom they’re forced to live.
