The 2022 film Gangubai Kathiawadi offers a fascinating look at the real-life strong leader who improved her community and advocated for basic human rights.

After all, most of the best biopic movies aren't entirely based in reality. But Kathiawadi's legacy is still felt in the hearts of anyone who can relate to her tale of resiliency and determination.
