From Fields to Flight
About the film:
From the dusty heartlands of India rises Babita, a girl determined not to let patriarchy ground her dreams. Born into a Dalit family and forced to shoulder responsibilities after her motherâs death, she gave up dreams of college to care for her home. Pushing against early marriage and age-old expectations, she steps into work traditionally claimed by men, after training to be a drone pilot to help with farming. As her districtâs first certified female drone pilot, Babita transforms skepticism into pride, inspiring other young women. Her story becomes a gentle yet powerful portrait of a world in transition.
