Bana-ghaisgeach nam Poileas/Yes Madam, Sir

Documentary telling the story of Kiran Bedi, winner of the Asian equivalent of the Nobel Prize and India's first female police officer.

Tha Kiran Bedi air cliu agus caineadh a chosnadh na beatha. Is i a' chiad oifigear boireann air a' phoileas sna h-Innseachan. Tha Bana-ghaisgeach nam Poileas a' toirt an neach-coimhead tro thuras sam fairich iad fearg agus aoibhneas, 's iad a' leantainn neach a tha a' dol an-aghaidh chleachdaidhean àbhaisteach an àite, a tha a' dèanamh eachdraidh, agus a tha a' dèanamh a' chùis mu dheireadh air atharrachaidhean a dhèanamh ann an saoghal a th' air a bhith gun atharrachadh airson linntean. Mar Ghandhi an là an-diugh, tha Bedi a' toirt dà thaobh inntinneach ri chèile: tha na milleanan a' coimhead oirre mar dhia airson na tha i a' dèanamh airson ceartas sòisealta agus airson an t-seasamh follaiseach a tha i a' dèanamh an-aghaidh coirbteachd. Ach tha feadhainn eile ga faicinn a-mhàin mar thè a tha airson a bhith san fhollais cho tric 's as urrainn dhi.

Winner of the Asian equivalent of the Nobel Prize, Kiran Bedi is India's first woman police officer. YES MADAM, SIR carries the audience through an emotional, tumultuous, frustrating and often hilarious journey of a person who defies all odds, makes history, ruffles feathers, and who triumphs to ultimately affect change from within a centuries-old world.

A modern day Gandhi, Bedi is an intriguing paradox: deified by millions for her commitment to social justice and her public stance against corruption; but often vilified by the establishment as a publicity-seeking megalomaniac.
