Bff20: Warrior Queen M

: Featuring a stellar British cast including Rupert Everett and Sir Derek Jacobi, this tale of women’s empowerment, tells the true story of Lakshmibai, a feminist icon in India and a fearless freedom fighter. She earned a reputation as the Joan of Arc of the East when in 1857 India, as a 24-year old general, she led her people into battle against the British Empire. Her insurrection shifted the balance of power in the region and set in motion the demise of the British East India Company and the beginning of the resistance against the ensuing British Raj under Queen Victoria.
