Aparna Rajawat was the National Champion of India in Karate multiple times in the past. Forced by the intense patriarchy of the country, since she was beaten by her brothers for flying kites because they believed it was a boys game, she cut her hair and passed as a
boy so she could take karate lessons to defend herself, which eventually led to the aforementioned success. Currently, she is running the Pink Belt Mission, an organization that teaches women self-defense and self-determination. John McCrite follows her path towards her goal of breaking the Guinness World Record for most women trained in a self-defense lesson to bring attention to her cause, in a rather thorough portrait.
Pink Belt will have its US premiere at Chicago South Asian Film Festival 2024
The documentary unfolds in two interconnecting parallels. The first deals with the situation of women in India, which is repeatedly portrayed as rather hideous.
