'Ranjit, a farmer in India, takes on the fight of his life when he demands justice for his 13-year-old daughter, the victim of a brutal gang rape. His decision to support his daughter is virtually unheard of, and his journey unprecedented.'

I thought there'd be a thread on this, but I can't see one.
It's not exactly entertainment, so, maybe I'm posting in the wrong place.

I watched it a bit at a time. DS 14 joined me for the final third, and I wasn't sure whether to let him watch, but he wanted to, and he wanted to talk about it.

I keep thinking about it.
Anyone else?

I watched it, thought it very intense and very good. Typical of a village community in rural India. So glad the three boys got what they deserved.

The Netflix deal would be worth a lot, wouldn't it?

I wonder how much the family and the organisation (NGO?) that supported them through the court case, have benefitted from that.

The fact that the daughter is now studying, away from the village, suggests she was/is supported to some degree.
And at the end, it stressed that the family were safe, in the village.

Has anyone seen an interview with the film makers?

An outstanding father, a true role model, BRAVO

I also watched the Push recently and the bravery and focus of Fawziyah's mother was amazing, she is an incredibly mother, there for her child, doing her best even in the worst possible circumstances.

I found both profoundly moving and heroic.

I'm surprised more people haven't seen this. I'm still thinking about it, days later 😢

I've just watched it. Awful - girl gets raped, whole village, including the women, suggest that she basically must have been 'asking for it' to be out alone so late and say best thing is if she marries one of the rapists (she's 13 years old), then the rapists' supporters threaten to kill the girl's dad unless he gives up on the case.

What's even more awful is that some of these views I actually recognise from British culture - not the marrying of the rapist part, but the attitude that women and girls are to blame for sexual violence perpetrated against them and that 'boys will be boys'.
