Impact film AUTO QUEENS,
Global Premiere IDFA 2025
In a male-dominated transport ecosystem where only a tiny fraction of autorickshaws are women-driven, this mission supports women in claiming economic agency, building community, and navigating urban mobility as respectable livelihoods. By coupling collective organising with skills training and media empowerment, it tackles barriers to income stability, safety, and representation on the streets of Chennai.
