Selvi, like so many girls in India, is a child bride in a violent marriage. One day she escapes and goes on to become South India’s first female taxi driver. This is the 10-year journey of a charming, strong and courageous young woman who defies all expectations, moving beyond the pain she’s experienced to create a new life.
