INDIA’s DAUGHTER is the story of the short life, brutal gang rape and murder in Delhi in December 2012 of an
exceptional and inspiring young woman. The rape of the 23 year old medical
student by 6 men on a moving bus, and her death, sparked
unprecedented protests and riot throughout India and led to the first glimmers
of a change of mindset.
Interwoven into the story line are the lives,
values and mindsets of the rapists whom the film makers have had exclusive
and unprecedented access to interview before they hang.
The film
examines the culture of rape and violence against women that exists in
India and throughout the world and makes an optimistic and impassioned
plea for change.
