“In Roopa Barua’s documentary Daughters of the Polo God, two young girls dressed in traditional green velvet and gold finery ride through the streets of Imphal on thickset Manipur ponies, now end­angered. Think Clint East­wood and John Wayne in pha­neks (sarongs). Only better, the colours deepened by dusk. It’s a powerful cinematic ode to the home turf of modern polo—a level playing field for women.”
