In this film, Ms. Rahela Begum, a 22 year old single mother, tells her story of breaking traditional gender roles by becoming a female rickshaw-puller to support herself and her two children. The concept of a woman doing such a job had been unheard of before Rahela hit the road three years ago in the capital city of Dhaka. Bangladesh’s socio-cultural environment has a long standing history of gender discrimination, as girls are often considered to be financial burdens on their family from the time of birth. Empowering women is still a dream from generation to generation.
