India's Daughter (2015)

This film is so powerful-- I can see why it has the support of Susan Sarandon, Sean Penn and Meryl Streep. It is hard to get it out of your head once you see it-- and you shouldn't, you should act and be part of this important movement. The editing was brilliant, the access unbelievable and the content quite horrifying. The events will hopefully move the world to change. Leslee Udwin does an fantastic job of not only telling this really difficult story. The film is just over 60 minutes but it feels like it ends at precisely the right moment-- when you want just a little more. Kudos to all involved. This could go down as one of the most important documentaries of this century and it would certainly be deserving.

First of all I don't know what exactly is offensive in this and whom it may offend. If we expect the accused to be respectful to women or not say offensive things towards women ( which even the defense lawyer so proudly supports), then we are bound to be disappointed. There has always been discrimination on gender basis in India , so nothing should be expected from these people.Actually not their fault most people are brought up with these values. Lady in the Documentary says education is the best way to tackle the problems India faces , but I think poor people for whom making both ends meet is a very difficult task and asking these people and their children to go for 'not so important' education' may be a difficult task. So if my opinion was to be taken it should more be about making strict laws,ensuring better law and order in the country and teaching our younger generations about equality not just on gender basis but on caste basis too . Controlling population would help too.

The documentary covers the unfortunate incident that occurred on Dec 16, 2012. A rarest of rare case that shook the whole nation. The documentary is short, simple and to the point. It gives to you straight, what's wrong with the society. The Gender Inequality that prevails in the society even today. How the mentality needs to be changed. If the government thinks it puts us in a bad light then they should think about delivering the verdict fast and giving justice to the deceased, because delaying that is a shame. The ban should be lifted, it should be up to us if we want to watch it or not. Hope there comes a day when we all can live peacefully without fear.

This documentary is like a tri-dimensional snap shoot in time: it feels like a slow motion scene in the matrix, when bullets are every-where, and it's only about survival.India's daughter is just a very well done analysis of a disturbing and complex society.I don't understand why the film is banned in India. It just made me watch it on you tube asap; without waiting for the release on Netflix.
