A salute to strength!

Although the cricket-loving daughter is the film's central focus,. this is a salute to the strength of many women in an India-based Muslim family. As I'm a cricket lover (and ex-amateur player) myself, the film resonated in so many ways, and I felt like I was accompanying these brave, pragmatic women through their many ups and downs.A superb score is married to unforced, solid visuals, and director Jeremy Guy gets great "performances" out of the subjects of the story. The social and religious obligations (and traditions) that often chain these women are contrasted with individual ambitions and attachment to family.Ultimately, this is a raw, emotional portrait of resilience, and there's not a frame of fakery in it. Certainly recommended.In cricket parlance, this scores a "Six!"

Very inspiring indie documentary

I like uplifting stories about women who find their way. This documentary follows Kaikasha, a young Muslim girl, who is trying to find her place between religion, tradition and her own dreams. The film then extends to the stories of all three sisters, and it made me think how privileged so many of us are born. Those sisters are real heroes in my point of view.Captivating documentary. Well told. I really enjoyed following their journey through harrowing ups and downs, and I hope that many girls will take their lead to stand up for what they believe in.
