Indian Women’s Boxing Project – Demo 01

Mary Kom did not tell her parents that she is into boxing as they were against boxing.she requested her parents to be a boxer but they did not approve…..her parents came to know that their daughter (Mary Kom) was into boxing only when they saw her in the newspaper as a State Champion boxing winner…..You are truely a Million Dollar baby…It is pathetic that almost 70% of the population in India does not know her even after being 4 times world champion….FOLKS GET OUT OF THAT STINKING WELL

It’s a damn good documentary project. I can feel the limitations you must have faced during filming and processing. It’s great job done! Congrats to you both!

And as for Mary Kom, what shall I say. You are the million dollar baby. Shine on!

” Ultimately, u’re degrading the woman in general” in 2:04 is really STUPID.
wear sareE and go to HELL. looser @ boring gal with spec with boring yellow blouse and boring saree.
LMAO……

India does not have any sports infrastructure .. its really dishearting !!

Best of luck Mary Kom . you make Indian women proud!

The colors and general cinematography are just delicious!

On your production blog I found that you were shooting with a Panasonic DVX. I’m going to be taking my Panasonic AGDVX100B to India later this year and was hoping you could post the following information on your blog or here:

1. Were you working with 24P or 24P Advanced?
2. What were your Scene File Settings?
3. Did you have additional lighting indoors?
4. Did you have trouble carrying your equipment through Indian Customs?

Thanks!

kanubari (what you wrote is really true)

==============================
let me add some more. She is from Manipur North-east India. Even the Manipur govt. didn’t praise her and know her. Now she was just a Police woman in Manipur along with Four National Ladies Footballer… I wonder how can a 4th times world boxing champion & National Footballer are treated like this?

Wow…this is an AMAZING documentary!! I wish there was an actual movie about this so the eyes of the world can open and see the other side of sports!! it’s very moving and inspiring!!! I live in America but am Greek…and all these americans talk about is baseball and american football…the close mindedness is very sad…

i agree with you………..

i totally agree with ,

i mean people are following cricket everytime , this pathetic game , and un-famous game ,

i think football and other games , india should concentrate upon

Man! Marry Kom is 4th time world champion & the people of our country!!! sux!!! except for cricket they wont’t reach to any other sports.See the moroons in the vids…they don’t know mary kom…wah! wah!
Mary Kom being ignored for khel ratna was big dissapointment.hell to that..sumthin Milkha sing.Man of his stature need to respect & know other sports too..Thanks Ammesha for this lil sweet documentry.

I think sports in ones life is very important. More young girls should take on sports. It builds confidants and self esteem. Great Job.

it is exquisite to see people using their talents to break social constraints; this is what life is about – in my view. . .

It’s nice to see independently-made documentary features like this on YouTube from time to time; good work! I know this was a rough demo, but it could have done with a bit more boxing.

nice video…the last women boxer they show has good boxing skills and she also seems to be very fast…keep up the wonderful work…peace

mary kom is 2 time amatuer world boxing champion. but beware if you fight against thailander womens boxer… they got score even if their boxer got slipped, on break and just brawling… keep up indian girls, i worked with indian people. they are so passionate. im happy as their to develop them to be the best…

There are a lot of good women boxers in the state of Tamilnadu. Many had to: abusive husbands, mothers/fathers, and brothers/sisters.

What a beautiful rough cut! Please send it to my group, “Right to Fight” to request that it be added to my site (which is dedicated to women’s boxing).

Awesome work Ameesha. Love it. Keep up the good work and I can’t wait to see the final feature film next year.

Very nice video.
Thanks for posting it.
Wish you a lot of success in your venture.
Keep up the good work.

Hi, kudos tou you guys, its quite an interesting subject and just looking at this demo one can ascertain how WELL it has been handled. Would definitely like to know more about this docu so please keep me posted on my youtube id.
thanks

I think this documentary should be screened all over India and abroad. Sportswomen in India in general, and marginalized region in particular get very little attention let alone enough means to survive..Thank You Ameesha Joshi and Anna Sarkissian.

I hope that this documentary will be shown in England as we have heard and read so much about it in the last 12 months. Indian female boxers led by M-C.Kom have done so much for the sport and for their country though I do not believe that they are ‘the best boxers in the world’. Ireland’s Katie Taylor is in my view THE best so much so that the Indian authorities want her coach/father Peter to train their team inc MerryKom. That said the Indian team are a credit to their sport and the Nation, Womens’ sport in general gets little media coverage anywhere in the world (except for tennis and for the Olympics) but coverage of womens boxing will change come 2012 and as a ‘mere male’ I can assure your readers that once they see such as Canada’s Mary Spencer, Ireland’s Katie Taylor, and the Indian ladies then all will see that womens amateur boxing is highly skilful and quite unlike men’s amateur boxing – or the professional sport – in any way.Good Luck for the film and try and get it shown at oen of the many London Film Festivals.
