- Synopsis
- IWNKQ is a hybrid documentary that follows Bhoomi, a young female wrestler, whose life is intercepted by the voices of four determined women–Bilkis Bano, Bhanwari Devi, Soni Sori, and Thangjam Manorama–that pierce through the deep-rooted foundations of patriarchy and echo resistance in their journey for justice and healing.
  Through Bhoomi’s mindscape, the film explores how the personal becomes political, and how the echoes of these women’s voices, against state and media violence, awaken Bhoomi to a larger fight beyond the wrestling mats and into the entrenched arenas of patriarchal power, caste oppression, state violence and religious persecution.
