Lakshmi and Me on PBS. I know nothing about India, and found this difficult the watch. Lakshmi worked 70 hours a week as a maid, for 6 different families...one of whom she had been working for since she was 10 years old, yet she was still poor.

The filmmaker was one of her employers, and a single woman. So a single woman can make enough money to live independently in India, but not if she's lower caste I guess.
