Contents/Summary
- Summary
- An unusual story which shows how a humble object like bicycle can also change lives dramatically. The film revisits a unique initiative 15 years later in Pudukkottai, one of India's poorest districts where mobility of women was seen as an important tool for empowerment and promoting literacy. In one of the poorest parts of the world 230,000 people learnt to read and write. Over 100,000 women learnt to cycle. It happened in one year and cost Rs. 65 (less than one and a half dollars) per person!
