Rebels Of Baghpat

Back in the 90’s, Dr. Rajpal Singh, a native of Johri village, Baghpat, Uttar Pradesh, decided to drag the youth of the district to the shooting range to divert their attention from gun culture, which was then rampant in the region. 20 years later, the young girls of the district are now taking up shooting as a sport. Our documentary ‘Rebels of Baghpat’ portrays the lives of these girls who are breaking the shackles of Patriarchy and overcoming caste, class and gender gap already prevalent in the region.

Doli Jatav, a 10-year-old Dalit girl and the daughter of a seasonal laborer is our main character. Varsha Tomar, 36, is an international shooter who divorced her husband due to increased dowry demands is the second character of this film.
