Unlimited Girls (2002) is a  cult Indian documentary, that asks the question: What does it mean to be a feminist in India?

Using an online chat room as a narrative tool, the director poses as 'Fearless' - a woman, who is unsure about taking on the 'label' of a feminist, and starts asking questions that generates a diverse conversation from different kinds of women.

These fictional conversations are interwoven with conversations with real-life feminists like Sonal Shukla, Urvashi Butalia, Vina Majumdar and Meena Menon, who share the real experiences of the anger, the resilience, the struggles and the joys of being part of the Indian feminist movement

It gives the new generation of film watchers a look into the work that has gone into the making of the 'now', the moment we are in today

 The simple yet deeply philosophical voice of Fearless makes palpable all the feelings and thoughts that go behind ' being a feminist'

The film uses different narrative forms like parody advertisements, fictionalisation and graphic/ animation- to create a highly evocative experience, that can quite easily serve as a primer for Indian feminist ideology
