Free Movie--Bandit Queen

Outcast. Outlaw. Legend. A woman's life erupts in a feverish spree of vengeful violence, shocking the world. Born of low caste, 11-year-old Phoolan is sold into marriage with a man 20 years her senior in exchange for a cow and a rusted bicycle. Challenging her fate, she escapes and falls in with a pack of ruthless bandits. Phoolan becomes an Indian Robin Hood, stealing from and murdering high caste men to avenge her repeated abuse in a war against a culture that often sees women as little more than sexual commodities.
