Red Brigade is a documentary about the teenagers who struggle for Indian women rights.

Synopsis

There are voices echoing over the neighborhood. They whisper on women’s ears which clothes they should wear, what kind of wives they should be and blaming them for the rapes they are victim of. That happens in Madiyaon, a suburb of Lucknow, the capital of India’s most conservative region. Usha Vishwakarma decides to raise her voice. Dozens of teenagers who were victim of sexual abuse and harassment answer to the call. Narguez is a young specialist in martial arts and she rejects to use the hijab. Afreen joins the Brigade to forget all childhood’s traumas. Led by Usha the group struggles for women’s rights. For a new conscience, against the old traditions and common sense.
