About Ladies First: Ladies First tells the story of Deepika Kumari who is born on the roadside to abject poverty in rural India, went in search of food, stumbled upon archery, and within 4 years became the number one archer in the world! Ladies First documents Deepika's tumultuous path to the Rio 2016 Olympics.

Having to overcome the obstacles of a socially repressive system, she strives to achieve her dream of becoming the first Indian woman to win an Olympic Gold Medal. 

#LadiesFirst is a campaign that aims to inspire girls to overcome the many social, cultural and physical obstacles preventing them from participating in sports. Even if girls don't become professional athletes, research shows that the power of play has the ability to transform a girl's life, making it crucial for us to inject role models, like Deepika, to make a long-lasting impact in rural India.

Having relatable influencers and heroes creates a 100x ripple effect within girls community, because it changes the entire families mindset, "If Deepika can do it, so can we!" In India, we have squandered the unrealised talents of millions of young girls.

The makers of Ladies First hope Deepika's story along with her grit and determination, can help shatter India's tragedy of small expectations for girls and put LADIES FIRST.
