9/10
A harrowing view of societal power
10 March 2024
Warning: Spoilers
This is a very hard documentary to watch; the normalisation of gang rape within certain societies leaves you feeling very upset and frustrated - wanting to cry out and offer help.

Following the burden that the family have to endure, and the repercussions they face by pursuing the case through a legal matter leaves you feeling hopeless. For anyone from a developed nation is left is shock that there are endless threats and fears that follow the victim and her family.

It is a beautifully filmed and documented case of a truly awful situation. I watched the dubbed version, and the voice overs helped to capture the seriousness of the discussion, when they took place.

You're left baffled after hearing certain opinions, and how they downplay what happened, and what the resolution is.

Do not shy away from watching it - no matter how difficult it may become to watch. It is incredibly important to realise what happens in other parts of the world.

I came out of the film feeling very ashamed of being of Indian descent - of it becoming a running joke amongst my friends of how Indians say hello with rape firstly, then a handshake second.
