India’s Daughter
a film by Leslee Udwin
2015, UK/India, 63 min
This is the story of the brutal gang rape and murder of a 23 year old medical student on a moving bus in Delhi, and the unprecedented protests and riots which this horrific event ignited throughout India. The film examines the values and mind-sets of the rapists whom the filmmakers had exclusive and unprecedented access to interview between their conviction and expected hanging. It exposes a skewed patriarchal society in which an institutionalised view of women as second-class, and even undesirable, citizens leads to such heinous crimes and it makes an impassioned plea for change.
