Kalpana Saroj, India’s Dalit Queen

VICE co-founder Shane Smith meets real-life slum dog millionaire Kalpana Saroj, who was once a Dalit at the very bottom of the Indian caste system, making pennies a day in a sweatshop. She eventually became a talented tailor making five dollars a day and miraculously rose the ranks to become the CEO of a multi-million-dollar steel company.
