Indian Women's Boxing Project - Demo 01

A rough demo for an independent documentary in production by Ameesha Joshi and Anna Sarkissian.

Few people know that the best women's boxers in the world are from India. They swept the 2006 World Women's Boxing Championship in Delhi, winning medals in 8 out of 13 categories. With all eyes on cricket, virtually no one in India has heard about these world champions. We followed them for two months leading up to the competition.

@bigjoet22 ,wtf you talking about ,black indian? i bet my skin color is more fairer then yours , your a indian and u still dont know about your country, india mostly is a male dominated country Mary Kom is a woman that's why she does not get much attention besides this boxing is not much popular in india , i am north indian i hate cricket and i know about Mary Kom . northeast is a heart of india reflects our unity in diversity india is a free country you are free to choose any sports u like.
