... View MoreI've ticked the 'spoiler' box because I'm just going to talk about the entire documentary without worrying if I'm spoiling it for others.This was a very good documentary, but as another reviewer mentioned, it was very painful to watch. It was shocking to hear what many of the people interviewed had to say about the rape, and rapes in general - that it was mostly the woman's fault for being out and about at night without a family member as chaperone. That the men committed a brutal, life-destroying rape just to "teach her a lesson", so to speak.The documentary gives a little insight into the way Indian society works, at least in some areas - the rapists were mostly poor and grew up in areas of the country where brutal rapes and domestic violence against women were regularly witnessed. They grew up seeing it as just a part of life. It is perhaps no wonder that as young men they felt like it was their right to do as the men they grew up watching had done many times. It was mentioned that some of the men in prison had committed over 200 rapes.I felt very sorry for Jyoti's family, who have lost their daughter in such a horrific way. I also found the scenes of protests happening after the rape very emotional to watch. Particularly when the police "fought back", clearly threatened by this behaviour. Even though what happened to Jyoti is horrific, and I wish it never happened, something good has come out of it - a spotlight being put on rape culture in India, and more women (and the men who support them as well) starting to stand up for their rights and deciding not to take any more.All in all, this was a very well done but heartbreaking documentary.
... View MoreWhat was the intention of the documentary? Was it to understand the mindset that leads to a violent crime? Then one incident and the views of a single victimizer from a single country does not depict it. How is it relevant to any other country? Statistically India has far fewer rapes per 100000 as compiled by the United Nations in 2012- just 1.8 compared to England at 28.8, US at 26.6, South Africa at 132.4. Even Germany where an Indian student was denied recently stating the 'rape problem in India' has 9.7. So obviously India is not the only country with the problem. Was it as Leslee claims a gift to India for the incredible active response of the people? Then why was it telecast elsewhere before it was in India in spite of the opposition? There was no new information or analysis psychological or otherwise. No mention of the high positions women have held and continue to hold in Indian society or the actual challenges of bringing speedy justice for the victims. Everything there is already known to Indians. In any hostage situation it is always advised that the hostage cooperate until he /she can escape, be alert and not anger the offender. It was a poorly researched emotional saga based on opinions of a few people not a documentary worth wasting time on.
... View MoreI live in India and the point of view towards women in our society from Historical culture heritage till modern world is described at utmost accurately as Mirror shows our true face in reflection. Recent claims of Leaders about knowing truth will educate people about criminal mind thinking and people would act accordingly. Decision of ban was made and all copies of this videos were completely removed instantly.This turned out nothing but false statement, in video there is not a single thing about it. A tragic event took place and shook the world in December 2012. Everything and anything about a innocent girl, who was passionate about opening a hospital in her rural village to help locals in future is ruined as she was suffered a brutal death caused by four low mindset criminals in one unfortunate night. Impact before and after incident on lives of victim and criminals involved is recorded as it is, not a shingle shred of unwanted education is exhibited. The act of ban indicating rigid, inflexible mindset of Leaders towards change in Modern society taped in video clearly. This BBC documentary is banned by our current Indian Leaders, who are nothing but lamest person on earth. This curiosity to watch this banned Documentary in such a short notice is a remarkable step by government to stop the world from getting root of truth. Nothing but a purposely done to act to hide ugly mindset in our society that exists and faced daily in our life about child marriage, restriction on gender basis. Veracity of this BBC Documentary is crystal clear and everyone should watch this video. The Question raised in the end would obviously confronted by society. Showcase of what the tragic incident happened to common man, it was suppressed instantly by government.I believe there is no need to evaluate this documentary, because the Director has done a remarkable job in exposing the truth and immediate ban from Indian government internet is cogent evidence.Only one final question raised is that, when this creepy mindset will change about women otherwise consequences will be inevitability grave? That answer is only given by you, after all you are the judge.
