Run time: 95 min. | Australia

Yes Madam, Sir, narrated by Academy award winner Helen Mirren and filmed over six years, tells the compelling story of one of India's most iconic revolutionaries, Kiran Bedi. An Asia Nobel Prize winner and Nobel Peace Prize nominee, Bedi is one of the world’s greatest living change agents, yet remains an intriguing paradox--deified by millions for her commitment to social justice and her public stance against corruption, and vilified by the establishment as a publicity-seeking, uncontrollable megalomaniac. Yes Madam, Sir carries the audience through Bedi’s controversial work life, from manning Asia’s largest and most notoriously corrupt and brutal prison, through her effort to weed out corruption in the Indian police force.

Rated 5.0/5 Stars my rating click to rate 1 2 3 4 5 culturalnstigator 10:38 AM		insightful look into the world of a an educated woman who chooses to put her career over all traditional things female proving that YES a woman can do men's work .. only she will most likely do it like this role model ... differently. Filmmaker's skillful use of her daughter, husband and father to help us see the woman behind the controlled public image snatches the film out of the control of the powerful subject .. .much better than I expected.. .
