"To Kill a Tiger" with Nisha Pahuja
Manage episode 402715714 series 2978062
When Ranjit and his family turn to the Indian legal system to seek justice for his daughter who had been raped by three local young men, they face not only daunting odds from the system but deep resistance from their village.
Nisha Pahuja’s Academy Award-nominated film “To Kill a Tiger” traces the profound tension Ranjit experiences: on the one side is the promise of recent national legislation that empowers children who have been sexually assaulted; on the other are the restrictions of the customs and traditions of a village which would like to “make peace” and marry Ranjit’s daughter off to one of her assailants. But throughout it all, Ranjit finds support to carry on in the courage of his daughter, who wants to tell her story in court, who insists on justice.
“To Kill a Tiger” will stream on Netflix at a date to be announced.
