“India’s Daughter” is no ranting diatribe. It’s a relentlessly penetrating excavation of facts and attitudes in a single case, though one, clearly, that speaks for a multitude of others. The film’s great strength is the product of that potent combination—ambition and persistence. The filmmaker pursued and won near miraculous access to every side of this history, including one of the rapists, also driver of the bus, who speaks in his prison cell—a man of still unshaken confidence in his views of women. “A girl is far more responsible for a rape than the boy,” he tells his interviewer. “About 20 percent of women are good,” he further informs her. And, “a decent girl wouldn’t be roaming around nine o’clock at night.”
Bravo to NDTV India.
