About the Event
A partnership of The Avon Theatre, India Cultural Center, Ferguson Library and Phoolan Film Inc.
Phoolan Devi’s extraordinary journey reflects something remarkable about India: a culture of fierce feminine power and a democracy in which a woman born into extreme poverty could ultimately rise to Parliament. Hers is one of the most astonishing transformations of modern times.
Join the filmmakers behind PHOOLAN, The Documentary for an intimate conversation, an exclusive preview and discussion about how Phoolan Devi transformed from a brutalized village girl to outlaw, prisoner, and Member of Parliament. Drawing upon Phoolan’s own words, rare archival material, exclusive family interviews, and years of filming across India, the documentary explores justice, resilience, dignity, and one woman’s extraordinary capacity to alter history and leave an everlasting legacy.
Watch the inspiring documentary trailer.
