Director John McCrite, with his feature documentary ‘Pink Belt Mission’, highlights Martial Arts expert Aparna Rajawat’s tireless efforts of making India a safer place for women.
The documentary is slated to premiere at the Jaipur International Film Festival on January 19.
Aparna Rajawat, a 16-time women’s martial arts champion, began her foundation ‘Pink Belt Mission’ with the sole purpose of empowering women by teaching them self-defence, legal rights, and enhancing their mental strength.
Aparna, along with a group of young women who have trained under her, travel across remote villages and big cities to create self-awareness among women and to make them stronger mentally and physically.
On February 19, 2020, Aparna along with the women associated with the Pink Belt Mission attempted to break the Guinness World Record for training the maximum number of women during one self-defence lesson which resulted in their cause gaining worldwide recognition.
Commenting on the film premiering at the Jaipur International Film Festival, director John McCrite says, "We are really thrilled and eagerly waiting to know the response for our film at Jaipur International Film Festival.
I hope the film will bring attention to Aparna and the women of the Pink Belt.
To shine a light on all the wonderful works they are doing.
It’s a story that deserves an audience.
