Director Statement

The "Indian Woman Atlas" serves as a powerful homage to the innate human spirit and the unparalleled prowess of the female athlete. Kunajrani Devi's rise from a small village in Manipur to competing on the world stage in weightlifting is an inspiring story of hardwork, consistency, and breaking the mold. We hope the storytelling medium of animation will elevate this story and engage young audience members to dream big and pursue passions. By highlighting Devi's achievements and the challenges she overcame, we hope to empower girls and encourage them to defy stereotypes and embrace their unique strengths.
