A compelling documentary which follows Kiran Bedi, a professional athlete with a deep interest in social sciences as she becomes the first woman to join the Indian Police Service. Unpopular with her male counterparts, Bedi single-handedly fights back three thousand Sikh militants with a wooden stick during the Punjab separatist riots. When this feat makes international headlines Bedi is judged to be a threat to the male-dominated powers. Reassigned and placed in charge of the overcrowded and notoriously corrupt Tihar Jail, Bedi again garners international acclaim for establishing educational, medical, spiritual and yoga programs for the inmates. Bedi is then sent to the failing police academy and before long transforms the corrupt academy into a respected training institution
