Featuring Megan Doneman's relentless telling of the story of Kiran Bedi, the first woman to join the Indian Police Force. A woman who has been called India’s modern-day Gandhi, Kiran maneuvered herself through a rigid and fiercely patriarchal society to become a champion of anti-corruption and societal change. Oscar-winning actress Helen Mirren narrates, taking us through the volatile public streets and inner political rooms that Kiran navigated to become one of India’s most beloved heroes.
