BAN// Documentary film India’s Daughter, based on the brutal gang rape case of a girl in 2012 in New Delhi, and the following public uprising, was broadcast outside India on March 8. Directed by Leslee Udwin, the film was a part of BBC’s ongoing Storyville series. A court stay obtained by the Indian police prohibited the broadcast in India. An interview of Mukesh Singh, one of the four main accused, created an uproar in India. He was recorded as saying, “When being raped, she shouldn’t fight back. She should just be silent and allow the rape. Then they’d have dropped her off after ‘doing her’, and only hit the boy.” Despite the ban, the film was uploaded on YouTube and went viral.
