Description:
This powerful film sheds light on a tragic event that shook India in December 2012: the brutal gang rape and murder of a young medical student. The gruesome attack by six men on a moving bus not only claimed her life but also sparked widespread protests, riots, and calls for justice across the nation. As the story unfolds, it delves into the lives, values, and mindsets of the perpetrators - granting exclusive access to interviews with the rapists before they face capital punishment. By doing so, the film offers an unflinching look at the societal norms and attitudes that foster such violent acts. Ultimately, this compelling narrative serves as a moving plea for change in a country grappling with the complexities of gender inequality and violence against women.
