Summary |
"Light Fly, Fly High" tells the striking story of a courageous girl trying to change her life. Thulasi is a young Indian girl, who is literally willing to fight for the right to be herself. Being an "untouchable," born outside caste, she's expected to accept her position at the very bottom of the social ladder. Using a government program that offers jobs to young athletes, she is trying to fight her way to the top in the ring. Although she is one of the best boxers on her team, there are more obstacles to overcome than just the championship |
