We found a taxi, and I asked somebody from...
Devi, who sued to stop a Toronto Film Festival screening of Bandit Queen, has since settled with the producers and, says Kapur, "now stands by the film." But the Indian government would not grant her a passport to attend the U.S. premiere. American filmgoers can see an exciting movie that brings Devi's story to life with passion but without passing judgment.
